Biological characteristics

Aspects of Delibird's appearance appear to come from the Rockhopper Penguin, or possibly a Snowy Owl. However the rest is classed with red and white plumage styled so as to give a Santa Claus-like impression. It is always pictured carrying a sack with it, further promoting the Santa Claus image, although one of its Pokédex entries suggests that the "sack" is actually its tail. In Pokémon Chronicles, the sack was shown attached to its backside.

Delibird is said to make its home at the edge of steep cliffs. It spends all day searching for food, which it stores in its sack/tail and brings back to its chicks. The food Delibird gather is what makes them particularly noteworthy. Within the Pokémon universe, Delibird are known to save the lives of many lost and starved mountaineers by sharing their food with them. The most famous example concerned a renowned explorer who went on to scale Mount Everest thanks to a Delibird's gift of food. “Everest” redirects here. ...

On the other hand, a Delibird under attack will fling its stored food at the opponent as a means of projectile weapon. This is perhaps the basis for its signature attack, Present, which is at once an attack only Delibird can learn and the only attack Delibird can learn naturally (through Leveling Up). When used, Present may either be a weak, rather strong, or very strong attack, or end up healing the opponent (possibly the opponent eats the thrown food instead of getting hit by it). Experience points (often abbreviated as exp or xp) are a representation of a characters advancement and improvement in skills in role-playing games and computer role-playing games. ...

Despite being based on a penguin, a bird famous for being flightless, it is in fact able to fly.
