Delibird (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Ice/Flying Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Delibird is a red, penguin-like Pokémon with a white, hollow tail. Its face and chest are covered in white feathers with two, three-pointed crests above its eyes. Black markings surround its circular eyes, and it has a light yellow beak and feet. There is a single white spot on its stomach. Its feet have two digits each.
Delibird is omnivorous. It carries food bundled up in its tail. It normally gives stored food to its chicks, but has been known to share its food with humans stranded on icy mountains. Delibird's signature move, Present, allows it to carry special items in its tail that may cause damage or heal its opponent. In a flock, the Delibird with the largest tail is its leader. Delibird tends to live in mountainous regions, making its nests over sharp cliffs; one notable area of the world is around Mt. Everest.

Main Pokémon games[]
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player saves Delibird from Team Skull on Melemele Island. They were helping an old man harvest berries.
In the Ninth Pokémon generation, Delibird gained a Paradox Pokémon counterpart in the form of Iron Bundle.

In the anime[]
During the Johto saga, Delibird was introduced as a debt collector for Team Rocket, hounding James and Jessie for their failures.
Origin and inspiration[]
Delibird's design is based on a penguin. Its sack filled with presents and the red and white color scheme are inspired by Santa Claus.
Its name comes from the union of the English words delivery and bird .
Its German name, Botogel, may derive from the union of the words, Bote (messenger) and Vogel (bird).
Its French name, Cadoizo, probably a contraction of the words, cadeau (gift) and oiseau (bird).
