===Origin===
Bombirdier appears to be based on a , specifically the . In European folklore, by dropping them down chimneys. Bombirdier's design plays with this trope: while its apron and black-and-white plumage bring to mind the image of a , it drops various objects to attack instead.
Bombirdier's coloration resembles the , with its grey beak and red eye markings. In Japanese folklore, the Oriental stork is often mistaken for the , and depicted atop pine trees in traditional Japanese art. In fact, is only observed in storks, while no crane species except nests or roosts on trees. The crest on Bombirdier could be based on that of crowned cranes.
Bombirdier's tool usage also bears semblance to the habit of some Old World vultures that drop rocks and other objects in order to crack them open. Its black facial markings may specifically pull from the , and its crest may reference the , both species that use this technique.
====Name origin====
Bombirdier may be a combination of bombardier and bird.
Otoshidori may be a combination of 落とし otoshi (drop) and 鳥 tori (bird).
