You've got a big balloon. The balloon is so big that you're actually floating up into the air. But what's this? A bird is approaching your balloon and you suddenly realize how sharp the beak is... POP!!! If you have a party balloon or some other inflatable (inner tube, hot air balloon, weather balloon, etc), it always seems that there's a bird around to break it. Usually Played for Laughs, especially in cartoons — yet if you're floating high up in the air.... Could overlap with Bubble Gum Popping, if bubble gum is involved. See also Bird-Poop Gag, for which birds use other ways to ruin the characters as gags. |

On the Batman (1966) episode "The Duo is Slumming", the Death Trap of the week has Batman and Robin tied up and sent up in a hot-air balloon. When the balloon reaches 20,000 feet, the basket they are in will disconnect. The Dynamic Duo escape by 1) plugging the altimeter on the balloon with a piece of used gum a mook dropped, and 2) Robin attracting a bird via bird calls to puncture the balloon so they'd be able to get back down. | |

The Ghost And Molly Mcgee: In "The Grand Gesture", one of Molly's attempts to ask Ollie Chen to go steady involves a display of balloons spelling out the message "OLLIE WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND?". Unfortunately, thanks to Scratch agitating a woodpecker, the sign gets damaged so that it reads "OLLIE YOU FIEND". | |

Looney Tunes: Tweety was fond of this trope in a few Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird cartoons. When Sylvester would float with balloons or bubble gum, Tweety would usually pop them. But unlike the other avian examples, he would use a pin or slingshot rather than his beak. | |

Then a bird flies by and pecks at a bag of breadcrumbs Klonoa taped to the Moo earlier to track it... deflating it and setting off a chain reaction that destroys the entire town. | |

One animated segment from Sesame Street had a Jerkass asking for a big, bigger, and biggest balloon (popping the first two he's offered); the biggest balloon causes him to fly up into the sky, but it gets popped by an equally big bird soon after. In another Sesame Street insert, balloons shaped like the letters from A to Z were popped by a speeding bird. In yet another animated insert, produced by Cliff Roberts, a bird demonstrated subtraction by popping balloons with its beak. Another one had two balls (one white and one red). The white one holds the yellow balloon while the red one holds the orange balloon. A bird suddenly pops the yellow balloon and makes the white ball sad. Then another bird gives the white ball another yellow balloon and makes the white ball happy. Voiceover by Emilio Delgado (AKA Luis). First seen on episode #2477. |

A variant in an early episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Monster of the Week, a giant crow named The Peckster in the US version, is tricked by the Black Ranger into pecking a bunch of helium balloons, the last of which turns out to be a playground ball that traps the monster's beak long enough to take him down. Unusually for this trope, the balloons are normal-sized while the bird is human-sized. | |

The DuckTales (1987) episode "The Big Flub" revolves around an invention called Flubble Gum, which is a bubble gum allowing bubble blowers to fly. When Fenton Crackshell is floating around in the air, Scrooge McDuck mounts an improbable rescue scheme. Scrooge throws lots of Flubble Gum into a trash compactor along with water, mixes it up, and uses an air pump to blow a giant-sized bubble, causing Fenton's trailer to float into the sky. The rescue is successful, but a passing bird pecks at the bubble, bursting it and sending the trailer crashing to the ground. | |

Donkey Kong: Subverted in one tabletop electronic game version of Donkey Kong Jr. The port added a few things not in the original arcade game such as umbrellas to float down on and balloons to float up on. Birds are your enemies - but they're not the ones who can pop the balloons; that's done by a sharp tree branch at the top of the game screen. In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Parry the Parallel bird serves this function, flying a little bit over head the Kongs. |

A variation happened in one episode of the animated Dennis the Menace (US). Mr. Wilson parachutes from a plane, but a bird pecks at his parachute - leading to a long drop. It happened again in another cartoon episode when Dennis gets accidentally caught up in a hot-air balloon race. A flock of birds burst one of the hot-air balloons. |

The 1995 Australian movie Napoleon (1995) opens with the title character, a Golden retriever puppy, floating away in a basket with helium balloons. A galah named Birdo gets him down by popping all the balloons; the puppy lands unharmed. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Team Rocket's hot air balloon is prone to bursting, and if an avian Pokémon is involved, you can bet that's how it's going to pop. Especially if the Pokémon in question belongs to Ash Ketchum. | |

In an episode of Dinosaurs: Terrible Lizards, a mother Tyrannosaurus rex, trying to catch a Pterodactyl to feed to her family, ends up being blown up like a balloon by a geyser and floating away. In a gesture of goodwill, the pterosaur pulls her over the pool she was hunting in earlier before popping the T. rex's belly with her beak. This causes the T. rex to drop into the pool, sending up some fish for her young to eat in a similar manner to when she fell into the same pool earlier in the short. | |

The tie-in magazine for 3-2-1 Contact would publish computer games written in BASIC to run on your computer during The '80s. One of the games, called "Pop!", carried an illustration of a computer blowing bubble gum and spotting a bird ready to pop the bubble. | |

You can aim a bird toward balloons in Angry Birds in many levels. Popping lets the stuff the balloon was holding up crash on what's below it. | |
