The '''Boss Bird''' (referred to in game files as the '''Guardian of the Music World''' and as '''Tchip-Tchip''' in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'') is a gigantic [[bird]] enemy and the first boss in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He is found in the level [[Hi-Ho Moskito!]], acting as the guard of the entrance to the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]] and in the [[Candy World]] in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the heroes must use their [[mosquito]]es to defeat him. Along with the [[Golem]] and the [[Murray|Giant Eel]], he doesn't become good after being defeated. He also doesn't have [[bubo]]s as his weak spots.

He wears a blue tambourine on his head, held by a light-brown belt with a peg on it. He also wears a dark-brown belt which surrounds his body horizontally, with a multi-coloured collar and a small bag on the front. The Boss Bird bears a strong resemblance to the [[Blowing Bird]], a considerably smaller enemy. The Boss Bird also resembles his leader, the [[Mocking Bird]], featuring several anatomical similarities such as the round body, the small wings and similar claws.

When the heroes escape from the [[Jibberish Jungle]], defeating all the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and [[hunter]]s with the help of their [[mosquito]]es, they reach the other side of the mountain, as the day slowly turns into night. The sky is suddenly filled with woody [[helicopter bomb]]s, which can be sucked or destroyed by the mosquitoes. Suddenly, the Boss Bird appears from bellow, performing his suction attack to swallow the heroes or to suck some [[Helicopter bomb|bombs]] to spit at them.

Suddenly, Boss Bird appears from bellow, performing his suction attack to swallow the heroes or to suck some [[Helicopter bomb|bombs]] to spit at them.


As the level progresses, the characters must avoid the Boss Bird's suction and the [[helicopter bomb]]s that he throws at them, while using attacks to defeat him. While various [[mosquito]] shots can damage him, the most effective and fast way to defeat him is to suck and throw four [[helicopter bomb]]s at him. When attacked, the Boss Bird squawks strongly, as his stunned body makes cuckoo clock-like sounds. When finally defeated, the Boss Bird deflates like a balloon and falls. After that, his fate is unknown.
