'''Tawks''' is a character appearing exclusively in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. He resembles a {{wp|scarlet macaw}} donning a pair of shades and a {{wp|cockatoo}} crest, similar to a mohawk. He replaces [[Funky Kong]] as the shopkeeper of [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] during the Funky mode. While similar in appearance and name to [[Squawks the Parrot]], Tawks adopts many of Funky Kong's mannerisms and quotes in an attempt to impersonate him, aided by his cheerful and energetic tone. He offers Funky a discount for all items present in the shop, on account that they are being sold to the shop owner.<ref>Shannon Grixti (March 31, 2018).
