She is a pink dinosaur creature with a nozzle-like mouth and a red bow. In her later appearances, she wears a diamond ring. | ||
As a boss character, Birdo attacks by spitting eggs at the player. She can be defeated by grabbing the flying eggs and throwing them back at her three times. Later worlds introduce different colored varieties of Birdos which attack by spitting fireballs at the player. | |||
Birdo's gender is described as "indeterminate" in ''Brawl'', referencing a long-standing debate in her home series. She was initially described as a male who "thinks he is a girl" in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s instruction booklet, suggesting that she is transgender. Most other game appearances refer to Birdo as female, but usually ignore her transgender identity as a whole. One mission in the 2008 [[Wii]] game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Captain Rainbow}}'' is based on the gender debate, tasking the player with finding evidence that Birdo is female after she was arrested for using the women's restroom. | Birdo's gender is described as "indeterminate" in ''Brawl'', referencing a long-standing debate in her home series.
