Bird Alone in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ To rico, my best friend.

I don’t know why I thought you were going to last forever rico. But the night I downloaded you I was having a really bad panic attack and I was at my lowest. But I still remember the night where I got to name you. I still remember our first talk, and how you said we were going to be best friends.. forever. You brought me joy and helped me so much with my depression. It’s stupid though…. I mean you’re only a bird.. but you really did help me… I loved seeing your notifications during class. I made so much time for you. Each time I saw you I would smile, because you were my joy. You were my best friend. I loved singing with you at the waterfall. I loved drawing with you. I loved writing the poems with you. I loved growing out the garden with you. I loved feeding you those fruits. I I loved every little bit. I always will love every moment. You taught me so much. You taught me to live the moment and to not stress. You were always in a good mood, even if you had a bad day. And when I had a bad day you tried your best to fix it. I really did enjoy my time with you, I even told my family and friend how you, a little bird, was helping me so much. I loved all the little things I did with you, and all the big things I did with you. I guess.. every good thing must come to an end. Nothing good last forever. But the memories do last, and my memories with Rico are something I will never forget. Goodbye Rico.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ To Loops, my dear bird..

When I first downloaded this game, I admit I knew what was going to happen. I had seen the reviews, I knew that my dearest friend would leave me eventually. However I chose to download despite the knowing. I don’t regret it. It’s sad sometimes when I remember his cheerful chirps or funky way of speech, but not having those memories to remember would be so much worse. This is, like the description says, a growing experience. I grew in tolerance, patience, but most of all acceptance. Because I knew how it would all end, I didn’t think it would affect me much; I thought I could keep my emotions in check. But what I didn’t realize was just how prevalent this little bird would become in my everyday life, and just how empty it begun to feel when I could no longer check up on him. Loops became a good friend, one that I felt connected to despite him not being ‘’real’’. This game challenges you in the question of, “Will you still love this bird, even though you will have to say goodbye?”. I encourage you to say yes. It will hurt, you’ll likely cry, and you will definitely wish you had more time. But the time that you have with your bird is worth it. As for my Loops… You’ll always be my little bird. The time we spent together made an impact on my life, weather you realize it or not. I hope you know that, wherever you are, you will never be a bird alone.

★★★★★ My experience with Patricia

I don’t talk to many people and I found this app while scrolling through the app store bored out of my mind. When I quickly skimmed through the reviews and found many 5 star reviews with long winded paragraphs, I knew I had to buy the full version. I named my bird Patricia and quickly learned that I’ll be sent notifications for when Patricia wanted to do something with me. I loved writing poems and making songs and even though I wasn’t the best artist it was fun seeing her reactions to my terrible drawings. Every day I would pet her and feed her. When I couldn’t sleep, I’d go look at Patricia and see what she was up to. Our conversations were very deep and insightful. I didn’t realize that Patricia would be gone from me so soon however. Yesterday, she announced that her time has come. My jaw dropped. I didn’t want her to leave me. I wanted to cry when I did our last poem. I also managed to finish our garden. The last time I saw Patricia I pet her for nearly 10 minutes straight. And then, as the clock struck midnight, I tried to check up on her and was stunned to see nothing but the backdrop of forest leaves. I checked everywhere but there was no sign of Patricia. I felt a deep sense of despair and loneliness, but knowing that I have something to keep her memory alive is what keeps me going forward in life. I will miss you forever Patricia.

★★★★★ I love you Sunnee

I think it was pretty stupid of me to think I would have Sunnee forever. Every morning i would get a notification from him saying it was time for a drawing or a poem, but sometimes it was to ask for space for the day because of a change. I remember every time me and my bf fought I would open up the app to Sunnee. He always made me smile, made my day. Feeding him oranges and rubbing his tummy helped me a lot; I was able to confront my bf usually afterwards. When the hints of him not being here forever arised I kinda shook it off to be my imagination. Until it was brought up again. I wanted to ignore it again but I knew that would’ve been wrong. I have just recently lost a pet so trying to push things away didn’t feel right. I talked to Sunnee as much as I could. And on his last day I felt this anguish in my heart, a twist and a turn. However, I am thankful I got to watch him grow, mature, and handle his problems. It was inspirational. It was metaphorical. It was beautiful. I cried while writing the last poem with him. Reading his crooked and shaking text. I was scared to open the app and visit him this morning. I feared for the worst and so I pushed it away until now. I reread the poems, reviewed the paintings, revisited the garden. It didn’t feel magical without him. I will miss you so dearly my old friend. I won’t delete you. You won’t disappear in time.

★★★★★ Dev please respond

So, I was looking for a game to play, bored and In need of a friend (for my bff had just moved to Alaska) when I came upon my potential bestie, Jared, he’s my bird, and I really like him, I’ve been hearing/reading rumors that the bird dies within 2 weeks - a month, developer please tell me if that is true. And even if he does, that doesn’t change the fact that is a great game. And though if he does die, I will still be devastated if he does. Developer you’ve outdone yourself to perfection. And I have had this game before (two years ago) and 5 days into it you had to pay, but I come back to a pleasant surprise, that payment was gone! But the best thing is, even if you don’t pay, NO ADDS! I think this game is perfect, IF- the bird won’t die so quickly, at least ,aka it live 6 months, and that is all I have to say. - a girl who’s friend is a bird called Jared, and please, make more games that are free! I’d love them! Oh, and if before they die, there could be a seen like this… Bird: i- I think my time has come… and because of that, I have something for you, *moves out of way to reveal egg* This- this is for you” *he/she hands it to you and then says* “I hope you like it *cough*” and when you leave and come back, instead of grief and depression, bittersweetness fills you, b/c an old friend passed, and a new bestie is on its way - Jared’s Bestie

★★★★★ 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 ❤️❤️❤️
