During the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' the Banana Bird Queen was sealed away by [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] early in his invasion of the [[Northern Kremisphere]]. After the queen's imprisonment, Roolenstein (through the use of [[KAOS]]) had the [[Kremling Krew]] capture and seal away a large number of Banana Birds, the only creatures who could free the queen. The Banana Birds that weren't captured scattered and took refuge with several members of the [[Brothers Bear]] family.

If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] manage to free all the Banana Birds from their imprisonment in the [[Banana Bird Cave]]s, and gain them from the Brothers Bear, the Kongs will be able to free the queen from the [[Banana Bird Barrier|Evil Barrier]] that is imprisoning her. When all the Banana Birds have been collected, the Kongs must go to [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]. The Banana Birds will then pick up the Kongs and take them to their mother.

When the Kongs bring the Banana Birds to the Banana Bird Queen, the birds will sing an enchanting song that will release their queen. As thanks for her release, the Banana Bird Queen will happily kick K. Roolenstein out of the Northern Kremisphere by chasing him down and dumping a giant egg on him.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', the task of releasing the Banana Bird queen is made more difficult, as at least five more Banana Birds have been added to the game.
