Kyorochan had his own 1999–2000 anime series and a movie based on the anime series released between 2000-2001 in Japan. It was later released on VHS and DVD. The series was released in very limited amounts in DVD format (though there is a rare box-set containing the whole series, which is usually very expensive), and, outside Japan, is found only in Hungary ("Kukucska Kalandjai"), Romania (the original name), Taiwan ("大嘴鳥"), the Czech Republic ("Červánek"), and South Korea ("왕부리 팅코"). In the Anime News Network website it is suggested that there might be an English dub^[1] for the Kyorochan anime with Richie Campos as the only voice actor listed.

The Indian channel Pogo will begin showing Kyorochan from May 31, 2017. It is currently unknown if it will be dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, or English, since the channel has programming in all three languages. It will most likely be a Hindi dub, however.
