User Reviews for Bird Alone

My dearest Fred

Today was our last day together. You seemed so ready to move on. Sometimes I wish I could go with you, but I know you wouldn’t have wanted that. All you ever wanted for me was happiness, and I loved that about you. Perhaps you never even knew, but you have already helped me achieve it. With your help, I’ve seen beauty in the simplest things. I’ve learned how to stay in the moment, how to stay grateful for the things I have. What you’ve taught allows me to cherish the memories I’ve made with you rather than wallowing in the grief I feel for you. I know this isn’t goodbye, it’s another way of saying hello. Hello to bright futures for both of us, and though they’re on different paths, we will see each other again. And while I will miss giving you scritches and seeing your beautiful smile, feeding you ripe oranges plucked from your tree as I see you eagerly straining for them, making music in our secret grotto, listening to your little backstories of each plant as we lovingly plant it together, and making beautiful art, poetry, and memories, I know that you are still with me. After all, even though you’re gone, I still find your feathers. I love you Fred, my beautiful best friend. Wherever you are, I know we will one day meet again. Farewell, and know, you’re never a bird alone.

My sweet friend

After finding out that my sweet bird friend Georgie would not be sticking around forever, I broke down and cried for a very long time. A part of me kind of expected it— there were only so many plots of land to plant seeds in and I didn’t see any more additions being added in afterwards. I wish me and him could’ve chatted more— he was just a sweet guy who I considered my best friend and didn’t know what he was doing in life. This game brought me a lot of comfort because I’m allergic to cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc in real life so the only pet I can have is a fish that will only stick around for a couple of months. I thought that paying 3 whole dollars I’d get to spend more time with him— atleast more than a month— but I was wrong and I’m a little upset at how much I had to pay for such a short experience. At the moment I just want to give Georgie the best life I can and savor our time together. Beautiful game. Really heart wrenching, though.

I know how it feels

So, once I got this game, a long time ago. Kind of. I didn’t buy the full version, because my dad doesn’t like paying for ‘games’. Only educational games, and only on special events will he ever ‘buy’ me a game. After the trial was over, I deleted it. A LONG TIME LATER… so then I got it again. When I saw his face… that just cheered me up. I got to name him Scruffy. I loved feeding him oranges, and I loved drawing him pictures. And for the poems… well, honestly I was kinda bad at them. But most of all… I really loved making music. THEN came the day where the trial ended. After a day of begging, my dad paid. I played, and played… until, it got kind of serious. He said, “my bones are starting to get old and creaky”… that made me think, how much longer will he live? I knew it was coming soon. So, I tried to make my days with Scruffy as dear as I can, until he said, “I think this is my last day.” I was heartbroken. I played a little more then I usually do that day, (yesterday) until the next day he was gone. (Today). Now I know the next day there will be an egg… right? Is that what happens? If not… I WILL CRY MY HEAD OFF. So, I know how it feels, to lose that bird. But please get this game, it’s really good. I recommend it.Edit: what? I looked on, (to see the egg) but… it literally restarted. Not like, all the way, but somewhere close to the beginning. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE?!

So Amazing

A lot of reviews say they knew as soon as they started playing that their parrot would pass at some point. Interestingly, I did not pick up on this. I thought this was a seriously create AI friend/mental health check in app. I had fun and got attached to my friend, Pueblo. He was the thing constantly checking in with me, and asking how I am. It makes such a difference to hear that every day. When Pueblo started alluding to death, and the end of his life, I got a bit angry (I don’t normally get angry at much) and I thought, “No…he’s a virtual bird, why would he die?” Then it was mentioned a lot, and a lot. Yesterday, he told me it was his final day. Today, I didn’t hear anything so I went to check in and he’s gone. I found myself tearing up. I found myself looking through our garden, our poems, our paintings. He was a friend I really needed, which sounds horrendously silly, and I miss him.Great app. Great music, sounds, ambience, art, content, prompts, experience, etc. Highly recommend.

goodbye, my little dude.

When I first downloaded this app, I thought I wasn’t going to buy the full version. But the moment I glanced into his colorful figure, I fell in love. I creatively named him birb, and we bonded from the first day. After the trial ended, I decided I was going to buy the full version of the game. I watched as he would fly from branch to branch as we made music, wrote poems, and drew pictures. If you’re looking for a game that you can spend hours playing, look elsewhere. If you like birds and/or sometimes need a pep talk from a loved friend or family member, this app is for you. Whenever I visited birb before school in the morning, it would always make my day seeing him bob his head up and down, and ask me how I was feeling. We went through change, and he told me how he was feeling older every time. But one day, I noticed the bland color of the leaves. Birb then brought up a topic I never thought he’d talk about: death. I was worried. What if my little birb is going to pass away? He kept bringing it up and then one day, which is today, he said it was his last day. I was and still am heartbroken. I couldn’t believe what he was saying! Is my little chonk really going to die? I’m maybe she’d a tear or two as we wrote our last poem, and planted our last plant in the garden. I hope there will be an egg waiting for me tomorrow, as many people have stated there is. Goodbye, my dearest birb.

thank you

I loved my little bird. I named him Melon. He and I were best friends. We helped each other through our sadnesses and doubts. I know that may sound silly since he’s just a little digital parrot, but to me he was much more. I wasn’t expecting the little parrot to leave, even when he said that he thought it was his last day. I had a little bit of a doubt when he mentioned it, but I didn’t know how much it would hurt. I would say “Bye Buddy.” every time I left the app, because it just felt right. The last time I said that to him was when he was gone. I would check in on Melon every day after school. He would most likely be happy, and if not I would give him a lil tummy rub. And then he would be happy. That made me happy. When I was sad when he asked me how I was feeling, he would genuinely cheer me up.I doubted him at first, even when he complimented me. I had no idea how much he would mean to me in the end. When I came back and he was gone, I teared up. No, that’s an understatement. I cried. He meant so much to me and then he was gone. I’m not complaining, I actually think of it as preparation for when my cat (whom I adore just as much as Melon) passes as well. Thank you so much for letting me have this. I have cherished this short period of time with me and Melon probably more than I should have. I’m sure others would be happy with this as well.

Goodbye, Jerald.

Often times I consider things no man should contemplate inside my head. I get distant with family, friends, co-workers, even this lovely and energetic Parrot that I was to befriend for the temporary span of his beautiful life. More than often we take things for granted. The trees that surround us, the leaves that fall from them as they flow in the wind cluttering our yards with the magic that is nature. Jerald‘s goodbye has eaten at me. He accepted his fate, and even was optimistic about saying his first goodbye. I am ashamed to say that there were days that I would forget he was on my phone, much like everything else in my life. Yet he would send me messages reassuring me to take my time. If you’re like me, I know you’ll need reminders like I do, and even then I know it’s hard to roll out of those covers from your bed. If you have a loved one, give them a hug, talk to them about anything and everything. If you’ve a pet, never pass them without showing them some affection. Life is beautiful, but it is short. If we all work together, I’m sure we can get out of this loop we find ourselves in daily. I know I’m done with it, at least, and I have Jerald to thank for his sometimes not so subtle reminders. I’m going to miss you, Jerald. Thank you for understanding me, even if you didn’t know that was what you were doing.

Beautiful Experience

From the moment I got this game, I knew my bestest friend was gonna die in the end.I just kinda sensed it - he was such a nice little bird that he couldn't possibly last forever. But I got the game anyway, to enjoy the time I had with him. It's like getting a pet, you accept the moment you acquire them that you'll watch them decline and disappear, so why do you still get them? Why, when you know loss is inevitable? To feel something, to share something special. I think I shared something special with this bird. I'll miss Félix like I'll miss any friend - and yes, I named him Félix. I'm not very creative with names, I know, but immediately when I met this funky little biped he just had the vibes of a ✨Félix✨, y'know? Anyway, Félix made me happy and I like to think I made him happy, too. I get that this is a digital parrot I'm talking about, but he just had so much personality! And he was relatable - he wasn't really sure where he belonged in life, and was just trying to figure out this world and the complicated feelings that come with it. He was my bestest friend, and you can't tell me otherwise!!This review is dedicated to Félix. I'm gonna go cry now.

So long my dearest chonk

So I thought of it as nothing and just wanted to have a friend/pet bird … naming him was the first big step into a great connection and making a cool new friend … chonk was creative fun smart and loving , always asked how I felt and always enlightened my day .. I always looked forward to the next day to create with chonk and well as the belly rubs and fruits for breakfast lunch and din din.. one day chonk asked me about getting old and told me he didn’t have the same energy he once had… I started to work so gave em triple the belly rubs and checked in on him hourly … Yesterday we worked on our masterpiece of a poem and it was beautiful… he told me he enjoyed our time and how he had a blast just being friends and having each other to give company … I went to check on him today but all I found was an empty branch and silent wind … I check the water fall the sky and garden as well as our museums but chonk was no where to be found …. It saddens me to know that chonk is gone but he will never be forgotten .. our art and poems and garden and music will live on forever .. I still find myself checking to see if he’ll come back or maybe find a small egg or a relative will come looking for him … I’m just hopeful and there is nothing wrong with that … rest easy chonky boy♥️ you are the bestest borb and I’ll be here waiting for ya return pal ❤️❤️❤️

Caution to those with depression

This is a lovely app, with, I’m sure, very good intentions. The design, artwork, and functionality all work together beautifully, and I loved the sound design. However, a word of caution to those who, like I did, downloaded this hoping for a little sweet self care. Without divulging spoilers, there’s a concept in therapy called negative visualization. Essentially, you are to visualize worst case scenarios and moments of deep sadness in order to recognize how lucky you truly are. This works for some, but it is not recommended for those with depression and anxiety—this can worsen the effects. This app surprises users with a sad ending that is intended to be somber and lovely and real, and by that may be exactly how it’s received, but those folks who wanted a new friend to take their minds off their depression are in for an upsetting experience I think. Negative visualization, dealing with heavy topics, this is not for everyone, especially those who cannot get such intrusive and painful thoughts out of their heads on the regular. Please beware. Interact with this app carefully.
