The most common variety of bird is a tropical, yellow-beaked, toucan-like species which comes in two distinct varieties: those with red plumage and those with purple. These birds are encountered frequently in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.

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 Chickens 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 Denys, 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]].

Both the red and purple varieties of birds can be seen flying through the trees of [[Aeropolis]] at the very beginning of [[Big Date]], the fourth and final episode of ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''.

Several red birds of the species from [[Rayman 2]] reappear in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''; 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 Chickens who are constantly moving towards [[Rayman]], thus knocking the egg down. The Zombie Chickens also appear in the [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Gameboy Advance version]].

In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' [[Rayman]] is imprisoned by the [[Rabbids]] and the only way to escape is a small window. To reach it Rayman has to make a ladder using every [[plunger]] he wins. Every time he sees his objective a bird comes inside the room and defecates on Rayman's 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.

Birds also appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', more especially in the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]] where some are predominant enemies, while others are friendly, allowing the heroes to step on them and use as platforms.
