A '''Bird Keeper''' (Japanese: '''とりつかい''' ''Bird Tamer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as young men carrying bird cages, except in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in which they are female. {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} use the {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in the [[Battle Frontier]], mainly for compatibility between the games when playing the 2-player mode of Battle Tower's [[Multi Battle]].

[[File:Rosebay.png|thumb|200px|Rosebay, a Pokémornithologist in the anime]]  

In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, [[Rosebay]], the [[character of the day]] in the episode ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]'', appears to be a female Bird Keeper and refers to herself as a Pokémornithologist. This character being a female is consistent with the depiction of the Bird Keepers in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===

====In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====

A male Bird Keeper first appears in ''[[PS092|Who Gives a Hoothoot?]]'' where he hosts a game in which the participant has to capture the {{p|Wooper}} that will be let loose in a given amount of time. So far, none of the challengers have succeeded. {{adv|Gold}} then accepts the Bird Keeper's challenge much to his amusement. Unbeknownst to the Bird Keeper, Gold had his [[Aibo]] use {{m|Swagger}} to confuse Hoothoot before they began. The Bird Keeper starts the challenge and Gold manages to capture many Wooper. When the Bird Keeper was about to have his Hoothoot stop the clock, Hoothoot started to get confused. The other participants then find out his business being fake. The Bird Keeper immediately retreats after his cover was blown.

 

The Bird Keeper is shown to break the law, conning children and poaching.

The same Bird Keeper reappears in ''[[PS137|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I]]'' where he encounters [[Falkner]] as he too specializes in bird Pokémon, still in his thieving ways. He shows Falkner his collection of Pokémon recently caught which made Falkner somewhat interested. The Bird Keeper does not give any of them away. When {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} appear, the Bird Keeper gets excited, which makes him want to catch them. Falkner flies away on his {{p|Skarmory}} and grabs the Bird Keeper in time before he got hit by Entei. He is then seen riding on Falkner's Skarmory where Falkner uses Skarmory to battle the two legendary Pokémon. The Bird Keeper had trouble keeping up with Falkner's Skarmory's flying speed. He continues to ride on Falkner's Skarmory in ''[[PS138|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei II]]'', watching Falkner take on the legendary beasts. After Falkner was unsuccessful in catching them, the Bird Keeper gets trapped by one of his boomerangs and gets arrested by Falkner.

|desc={{p|Hoothoot}} is the Bird Keeper's partner Pokémon. In its first appearance, it served as a timer when the Bird Keeper set up a game in which certain Pokémon have to be captured in a set time. However, the Bird Keeper had Hoothoot decrease the amount secretly. {{adv|Gold}} was able to find out about this when his [[Aibo]] {{m|swagger}}ed Hoothoot, causing it to get confused. Hoothoot made a cameo in ''[[PS137|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I]]''.

====In the {{chap|Platinum}}====

A female Bird Keeper makes an appearance as a background character in the ''Platinum chapter''. She first appeared with a crowd entering the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}} when {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} told his assistants to open the gates. Later, she saw [[Looker]] flying on his jetpack while he was looking for {{adv|Platinum}}.

|desc={{p|Swablu}} was briefly seen with its Trainer when they were entering the Battle Frontier.

|desc={{p|Pidgey}} briefly appeared with its Trainer in the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}}.

* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a pair of Bird Keepers on {{rt|20|Kanto}} are named {{wp|Bert and Ernie}}.
