* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnNvBucoNSY Birdemic], essentially a [[B-Movie]] version of ''[[The Birds]]''.
* The prison island scene in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]] 2''.
* ''[[
* Feathers McGraw the villainous penguin from ''[[Wallace and Gromit|The Wrong Trousers]]''. Definitely type D (the [[Paper-Thin Disguise|rubber glove chicken disguise]] effectively pulls the gag twice).
* Lord Shen, the [[Big Bad]] of [[Kung Fu Panda 2]], is a villainous peacock with the blood of apparently the Panda species on his feathers, making him a Type D.
Line 102:
** ''[[Walking with Dinosaurs]]'' had ''Iberomesornis'' that were portrayed as type B. In spite of their small size they chased off a [[Giant Flyer|giant pterosaur]].
** Another [[Speculative Documentary]], ''[[The Future Is Wild]]'', had a deadly flightless caracara called the Carakiller, an obvious [[wikipedia:Phorusrhacid|Phorusrhacid]] [[Expy]]. This was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the narrator.
* In an episode of ''[[
* In the ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Suite Life on Deck]]'' episode "Mean Chicks", Cody deprives a seagull of a french fry Zack attempted to feed it, and spends the rest of the episode trying to escape the bird's wrath.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Vincent and the Doctor", a Provençal village is being menaced by what, [[Invisible to Normals|when we finally get a look at it]], appears to be a giant cross between a chicken and a parrot. From outer space.
Line 133:

* The Kroot of ''[[Warhammer
** Also, the greater daemon of [[The Chessmaster|Tzeentch]] is a [http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Tzeentch_Greater_Daemon_Lord_of_Change_3.jpg giant bird monster] called the Lord of Change. Also, while followers of Chaos [[Evil Makes You Monstrous|will invariably start to mutate]], [[Black Crusade|according to some materials]], those who follow Tzeentch specifically tend to develop avian traits ([[Body Horror|emphasis on "tend"]]).
* The Black planeswalkers of ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' have a fairly decent selection of Type A birds, from [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=47223 buzzards] to [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=39906 vultures].
Line 139:
*** [http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Kirtar Lieutenant Kirtar] is one particular example of a White aligned feathered fiend.
** In New Phyrexia, [http://magiccards.info/scans/en/mbs/17.jpg the native birds hunt sentience itself].
* ''[[
* In ''[[Gamma World]]'', there are a few including the [[Nobody Here but Us Chickens|Gallus Gallus]], chickens that were being bred for meat, but after the apocalypse the computer breeding them screwed up and now they're sentient and humanoid. There's also the Carrin, cruel psychic vulture people with nasty quills.
* Speaking of nasty bird poeple, the word "[[Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game|Blackwings]]" comes to mind.
Line 159:
**** In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' birds/flying enemies approach [[Demonic Spiders]] territory at times, due to high-damaging skills (the penguin things around Cosmo Canyon early in the game) or the fact that you cannot hit flying enemies without long-range equipment or materia (like the Unknown in the sunken carrier.)
* "[[The Curse of Monkey Island|Madre de Dios!]] [[Nobody Here but Us Chickens|Es el Pollo Diablo!]]"
* The evil chicken in ''[[
** Also, the folk legends of unsuspecting (and supposedly quite powerful) feather hunters being killed by ''regular'' chickens, on which the Evil Chicken was based.
* Vulcan Raven's rather disturbing death in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]:'' A flock of his titular birds descend on his body, and when they leave, nothing is left but his weapon.
Line 170:
* Evil birds show up quite frequently in the ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' series. The most prominent is [[Big Bad]] [[Owl Be Damned|Clockwerk]], but the second game also gives us sinister parrot Arpeggio, and the third has an evil chicken (General Tsao) and another nasty parrot, the pirate captain LeFwee.
* The first boss of ''[[Rune Factory: Frontier]]'' is a Type C: a [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giant]] [[Everything's Better with Chickens|Clu]][[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|cky]].
* [[
** Spiteful Crow pecked at your eyes!
* Bobo in ''[[Wario Land]]'' 1 is type C (although the latter games show it as closer to a pterodactyl/dragon than any bird), as is the true form (after the first half of the boss battle is won) of Cuckoo Condor in the fourth game.
Line 184:
** Which is really odd when you realize that [[Real Life]] Albatrosses are ''endangered'' and swallows and martins have adapted well with humans.
* The giant two-headed roc from ''[[King's Quest V]]''. Also subverted in that the only way to escape from said bird is with the aid of another bird whose life you saved earlier in the game.
* [[Advancing Wall of Doom|Copernicus the Guard Turkey]] from ''[[
