Coo Coo

Coo Coos are a species of Chicken which first appear in Super Mario Sunshine.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Coo Coos look like large, featherless chickens with two beady eyes, one of which has a star around it.
===Behavior===
Coo Coos typically attack Mario by dropping splotches of Goop, in the fashion of bird poop, when he is nearby. While the goop does little harm, it can be a slight hindrance from briefly slowing Mario.
==In Super Mario Sunshine==
Coo Coos appear in a couple courses with the first being Bianco Hills. Coo Coos are seen flying around near the path to the Big Windmill. Coo Coos are later seen in Pianta Village where they are seen near the village area and drop blobs of Lava Goop this time.
Coo Coos pose little of a threat, as they can easily be defeated by being jumped onto. Upon being defeated, a Coo Coo drops a couple Coins. If Mario uses F.L.U.D.D. to spray a Coo Coo, they drop Coins, as well as a 1-Up Mushroom after some time. Said tactic is useful when going for the 100-Coin Shine Sprites, as it also takes a Coo Coo to the ground to be stomped for more Coins.
==Behind the scenes==
===Etymology===
Coo Coo's name could be based on the cuckoo, a type of bird and the sound made by a cuckoo clock. It could also be a play on the word "cuckoo," a way of describing someone who has gone crazy.
==Trivia==
*Cluckbooms, enemies that look similar to Coo Coos, appear in Super Mario Galaxy, and its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their method of attacking Mario is by dropping explosive eggs on him, similar to a Coo Coo's method of dropping Goop on Mario.
