Stymphalian Birds are a species of monstrous pigeon-like birds. In Greek Mythology, Hercules' sixth labor was to beat the Stymphalian birds. He did it by using brass bells to scare them into the air, and when the birds took off from the swamp that they rested in, Hercules shot many of them down with his bow and arrows. Although some escaped, they never returned to the area that they were terrorizing.
Stymphalian birds attack Camp Half-Blood during a chariot race. Percy and Annabeth used Chiron's music from a portable stereo to confuse the birds so Apollo's cabin could shoot them down. The reason they could enter the camp's borders was because of Thalia's tree dying. Tantalus apparently then cooked and served them for the winning camper's which was Clarisse prize-dinner.
Stymphalian birds attack the Argo II, but Festus torches them.
