Any "iconic" birds in anime?

[CorpseGoddess]

Are there any real iconic bird characters in anime? The three I've thought of are the little chicks that float around Mahormatic's head, Howl when he's in bird form, and the Baba Yaga witch in bird form from Spirited Away. Any others?

Thanks!

Hm... well there's so scenes of her flying around or anything, but Duck (or Ahiru) from Princess Tutu is in duck form in a lot of the show.

Hibari from Hitman reborn has a birdy pet.

Ah, of course. Princess Tutu, didn't think of that one.

I'll have to check out the Hitman bird as well.

Basically, I'm doing an "Early Bird" show at Sakura-Con and I need to come up with a Title Card to show and I need an image for that. Anime seems to be sadly lacking in birdies.

There's Karura's gigantic bird from RG Veda, as well.

To be honest you have a million Pokemon to choose from.

I never watched it, so I didn't think of it at all, to be honest.

I decided to go with the Azumanga penguin...thanks to everbody for the suggestions! You've been a great help and got my brain working again! Yay!
