'''Parry the Parallel Bird''' is one of the [[Kong]]'s many [[Animal Buddy|Animal Buddies]]. He only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Unlike the other animal buddies, Parry cannot be ridden, but stays perfectly parallel to [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s moves, hence the name. Parry can grab any item he hits, making him a wonderful tool and ally. Also, if he gets to the [[No Animal Sign]], the Kongs will usually get a large reward such as a [[Bonus Barrel]] or a blue [[Life Balloon]].


Getting Parry to the [[No Animal Sign]] can be difficult, as contact with any enemy (mostly [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]]) will instantly defeat him. However, Parry can easily defeat any [[Booty Bird]]s in his path without getting hurt.  
'''Parry the Parallel Bird''' is an [[Animal Buddy]] in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]] who first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. Parry is a small yellow bird with a blue head and a white neck-stripe; his blue wing-feathers are tipped with red, and his tail slightly resembles that of a real-world [[wikipedia:Quetzal|Quetzal]].
