Quawks and Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.

Template:Character-infobox Quawks the Parrot is a purple parrot and Animal Buddy that appeared in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Quawks is featured in two levels, "Buzzer Barrage" and "Low-G Labyrinth". Quawks, unlike Squawks, does not have the ability of spitting eggs at enemies, but he can use his claws to pick up barrels and drop them on the ground to hit enemies. Like all animal buddies, Quawks is only playable until he reaches a No Animal Sign, or in this case, a "No Quawks Sign".

Quawks makes a surprise appearance as an item in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, along with Squawks. In this game, he is finally given the official name of "Quawks" in English. The name was previously introduced in Japanese materials, at the latest for the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 3.[1]

In Donkey Kong 64, purple parrots similar in appearance to Quawks appear as background characters in some of the game's cutscenes, along with green parrots.

Name Controversy

The true English name of Quawks went unknown for over a decade; however, popular fanon created by the website Donkey Kong Universe stated the character's name is "Squeaks". This name was derived from Swanky Kong's trivia game. One question asked "What is the name of your parrot buddy?"and the possible answers were "Squawks", "Flapper", and "Squeaks". Since then, "Squeaks" was attributed to the unnamed purple parrot, while "Flapper" is used to designate the unnamed blue parrot from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. However, in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, he is named Quawks, as he was previously named in Japan.
