Birds are a recurring species of creature in the Metroid series.

Metroid Prime

A large type of bird appears in Metroid Prime high above certain areas in the Chozo Ruins and Tallon Overworld. While their distant silhouettes are all that can normally be seen in-game, they have dark blue bodies, pale heads and cyan eyes. They cannot be scanned, but they can be shot at. Once hit, they explode in a puff of feathers. In the game's data, they are referred to as "Tweety", likely a reference to Tweety Bird.

These birds have an unused death animation where instead of exploding into feathers, they fall spiraling from the sky in a similar manner to the ducks in Duck Hunt. (Samus would later appear with the dog, a duck and the shooter from Duck Hunt in Super Smash Bros.)

Locations

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

A similar species can be seen high in the skies of the Temple Grounds. Unlike the birds seen on Tallon IV, these are indestructible, and are extremely slender in shape. Animation titles refer to them as "Sandlands Birds".

 '''Birds''' are a recurring species of creature in the ''Metroid'' series.
+==''[[Metroid Prime]]''==
-An unnamed species of bird appears in ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' above certain rooms in the [[Chozo Ruins]], namely the [[Main Plaza]], and [[Tallon Overworld]] in the [[Tallon Canyon]]. It appears to be a type of large crow. They cannot be scanned but they can be shot at. Once hit, they explode in a puff of feathers. They often appear in very large flocks. Another almost identical species, but white in color and indestructible, can be seen high in the skies of the [[Temple Grounds]].

-The [[Chozo]], a sentient race inhabiting [[Tallon IV]], rather resembled birds; in fact, [[Old Bird|one of them]] had bird in his name. The [[Elephant Bird]] seen in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' was named as such in ''[[Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]]''. One of their creations, the [[Torizo]], attacked [[Samus Aran]] using bombs resembling [[Item Sphere]]s that hatched birdlike heads that flew at Samus. Another of their robots, the [[Wallfire]], had a birdlike head and resembled the Torizo bombs.

-While there were many species that actually resembled birds, some were not birds but had features of them. For example, the heads of the [[Groganch]] and the [[Dragotix]] both looked like birds, and the [[Zebesian]]s and [[Gripper]]s both had birdlike beaks (in fact, the Gripper made a noise similar to a seagull). The black ghost form of [[Dark Samus]] resembles a bird appariation with her visor. Two other creatures that resemble birds, finally, are the [[Dachora]], [[Rhedogian]] according to concept art and [[Ridley]].
