In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', [[Rayman]] is imprisoned by the [[Rabbid]]s 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. | 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. | ||
