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 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.

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 Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, in which they are female. HeartGold and SoulSilver use the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum sprites in the Battle Frontier, mainly for compatibility between the games when playing the 2-player mode of Battle Tower's Multi Battle.

As their name suggests, they specialize in Flying-type Pokémon that are based on birds, like Pidgeot.

In Pokémon Stadium, they are known as Birdboys.

A male Bird Keeper in Pokémon Adventures

A male Bird Keeper first appears in Who Gives a Hoothoot? where he hosts a game in which the participant has to capture the Wooper that will be let loose in a given amount of time. So far, none of the challengers have succeeded. Gold then accepts the Bird Keeper's challenge much to his amusement. Unbeknownst to the Bird Keeper, Gold had his Aibo use 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.

A female Bird Keeper in Pokémon Adventures

The same Bird Keeper reappears in 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 Raikou and Entei appear, the Bird Keeper gets excited, which makes him want to catch them. Falkner flies away on his 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 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.

He makes a cameo in The Last Battle XIII as one of the people who volunteered their Pokémon for transfer.
