South Bird

The South Bird is a type of bird found on Jaya. These strange looking birds have a freak habit of always pointing their head south, no matter where they are (much to the amusement of Luffy). In fact they find it most uncomfortable to point in any other direction. They have a loud call that can control bugs.

There are also South Birds located on Skypiea as well as Jaya island. The South Birds here however are much larger then those found on Jaya and seemingly much friendlier, perhaps too friendly, as one saved Zoro's life only so it could steal his lunch, it also laughed at Zoro for getting lost (prompting Zoro to throw his backpack at it). Despite its friendly nature it is not above sacrificing something at hand to save its own skin (such as when it dropped Zoro so the Giant Python would leave it alone)
