Pidgit

Pidgits are enemies in the Mario Series that ride on magic carpets and will swoop down to damage you. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2 (Doki Doki Panic in Japan.) where they were a common enemy. They look like birds, though they seem to never fly with there wings, but only with there carpet.

The later appeared in other games such as a cameo appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and an enemy appearance in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on the Yoshi Island stage.
