Birdo (キャサリン, Catherine) is a character from the Mario universe.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Birdo is a stage hazard in the Mushroom Kingdom II stage. It appears on either side of the screen and shoots one or three eggs from its mouth before exiting to the side where it came from. Birdo can be attacked and will temporarily retreat after receiving enough damage.
Birdo's eggs deal damage to those they hit. These eggs can be shielded against, jumped on, knocked away with attacks, and air grabbed. When air grabbed they are usable as items that deal 24% damage when thrown normally, explode and deal 49% when smash thrown, and occasionally drop items after breaking. It is the only item in the series that can explode by input rather than chance.

Birdo's debut wasn't in a Mario game at all but in a game called Doki Doki Panic. Originally released in Japan, a version of that game made it to the West under a different name. Mario and friends replaced the main characters, and the game was called Super Mario Bros. 2. That's how Birdo joined the Mario Bros. family!

Origin
Birdo is a character and species in the Mario series who debuted in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic as a recurring boss, found at the last enemy in several levels, who attacks by shooting eggs at the player and is defeated by grabbing the flying eggs and throwing them back at it three times. Later worlds introduce differently colored Birdos which also attack with fireballs.
Like much of Doki Doki Panic's content, Birdo was retained when the game was reworked for its North American release as Super Mario Bros. 2. Since then, Birdo has appeared in numerous Mario series games, being a boss once again in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, as well as a playable character in several installments of Mario spinoff series such as Mario Kart and Mario Party.
Birdo's gender remains indeterminate, being described as a male who believes he is female in Super Mario Bros. 2's instruction booklet. Most other game appearances refer to Birdo as a female. One quest in the 2008 Wii game Captain Rainbow is a play on Birdo's gender confusion, tasking the player to find evidence that she is female after being locked up for using the men's restroom.
