Perhaps the most significant birds in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] are the [[Zombie Chicken]]s. These undead creatures are just one result of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' interference: chickens, terrified by the disruption of the natural balance, began laying dead eggs, from which the [[Zombie Chicken]]s hatched.

In the PlayStation version, some [[cage]]s contain [[Deny]]s: small, strange creatures that appear to be a sort of mixture between chickens and dinosaurs. ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' introduces adult [[Deny]]s, which are known as [[Minisaurus]]. The [[Minisaurus]] have been driven mad by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' interference; formerly peaceful, they now eat the [[Popolopoï]]s, and may charge and hurt [[Rayman]] if he encroaches on [[the Minisaurus Plain]].

==In ''Rayman 3''==
Several red birds of the species from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' reappear in ''[[Rayman 3]]''; they are glimpsed in the clearing at the end of the [[Special Invaders]] minigame, and they can be seen taking flight when [[Rayman]] emerges from his underwater duel with [[Céloche]] in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. At the beginning of the same level, [[Globox]] sees a number of small blackbirds sitting on a wall; he seems quite entertained by them and remarks that they look ‘stupid’.

Disembodied, metal vulture heads appear in [[Clearleaf Forest]] twice. The first time they are encountered they are sleeping when everything's normal in the area. However, if [[Rayman]] attacks a [[Hoodlum]] or [[Telescopic fist|punches]] it, they wake up and start cawing, indicating some sort of danger. They cannot be defeated and can hurt [[Rayman]] if he comes too close. These are probably [[Hoodlum]] invention.

[[Zombie Chicken]]s make a return in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. Here [[Rayman]] will be faced with puzzles where he has to carry their eggs while avoiding the [[Zombie Chicken]]s who are constantly moving towards [[Rayman]], thus knocking the egg down.

[[File:RRR Bird.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The bird in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''.]]
In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', [[Rayman]] is imprisoned by the [[Rabbid]]s and the only way to escape is a small window. To reach it, he has to make a ladder using every [[plunger]] he wins. Every time [[Rayman]] sees his objective, a bird comes inside the room and defecates on his nose. When [[Rayman]] reaches the window he catches the bird and sticks a [[plunger]] onto its back. The bird in this game is blue with big undivided eyes, and could possibly be a blue tit.
