{{Species-infobox

 

'''Jibberjays''' are a species of avian creatures that make their appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are multi-colored birds that primarily appear in orange coloration but can also be black, green, yellow, red, and cyan. They appear in two galaxies in the game: first in the [[Wild Glide Galaxy]] and then later on in the [[Fleet Glide Galaxy]]. Their name comes from the term "jibber jabber", meaning a lot of spoken nonsense, and "{{wp|jay}}", a kind of bird, although their bright plumage and their habit of repeating words is more akin to parrots than jays.

Two Jibberjays appear in the [[Wild Glide Galaxy]]'s first level where one teaches Mario [[Fluzzard Gliding]] and later on sends him through a course being carried by Fluzzard. If Mario completes the course, the Jibberjay will give him a [[Power Star]]. The same thing happens later on in the [[Fleet Glide Galaxy]]. Later on in the Wild Glide Galaxy, after completing ''Step To The Beep'' in [[Beat Block Galaxy]], a [[Black Jibberjay]] will send Mario a letter requesting a race. The Black Jibberjay will then race Mario and Fluzzard along with four of his Jibberjay followers.

Later on, after completing the second level of the [[Wild Glide Galaxy]] and beating four Jibberjays in a race, one Jibberjay will return with Mario to [[Starship Mario]] and give him advice on how to control Fluzzard whenever spoken to.
