Birds are a recurring species of non-hostile 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..

SandlandsBird

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 in Ferenia

All three birds in Ferenia.

Two birds appear when Samus first enters a corridor below the Pulse Radar in Ghavoran, where there is an Energy Recharge Station in addition to an Enky that blocks off the path to the right. These tweet right before they fly upward behind a window in the background. Three more birds appear in the "Flooded Sanctuary" in Ferenia, after Samus arrives via Shuttle. One can be seen flying past a window as Samus nears it; while the other two fly upward once she reaches the hidden alcove with the Missile+ Tank.

The internal name for these creatures' model is bird; said model shows they lack eyes and appear as bat-like creatures with two small talons under their bodies, featherless wings and a long tail.
