✓ Bird dying in the game is a stupid and cruel ideaDowloaded this game and was enjoying it for a while, until I discovered people saying the bird dies at the end. NOPE, just like that, boom, game gone, uninstalled. Why raise people's hopes up from pain in real life by giving them a companion to talk to on an app, only to cruelly rip it away from them by making it die at the end???? I'm sorry, but that's a stupid decision for an app, there's enough pain going on in real life that makes you want to hide away and have someone to talk to on app, especially if it has to do with losing someone for real in real life, who the hell wants to be reminded of that again by having this bird die as well?? Disappointing, cause this game had great potential to be an escape from the pain of real life, sadly, with their decision to inlcude death and loss in this app, that doesn't make this possible. If you are looking for a place as escape from the hardships of real life, please, DON'T, I would strongly advise not to get this game, because it will most likley only leave you feeling worse off than before..PrplGrl3Version: 2.6

✓ ConfusedIt’s maybe only been 2 or three weeks and he just said this is his first goodbye and that was it?? I can’t find him. Everyone’s saying they had heartfelt goodbyes or something about him dying??? Sorry just confused.SupergirlizzyyayVersion: 2.6

✓ Massively DisappointingThis is genuinely sweet and a pleasant experience for a while. It’s not that profound, but your parrot is very likeable and I personally ended up being genuinely fond of him. At which point, after about 2 weeks and for no apparent reason, the parrot dies. The game then announces you can have a new one if you want or keep the environment to remember him. I found this misguided, and arrogant. The idea that people don’t know for themselves that life is finite, and that what you love will be taken from you is absurd. The idea of getting people to pay you to be told that feels cynical and a kind of gross..92eelsVersion: 1.5

✓ Emotional rollercoaster!!*SPOILERS FOR THE GAME* Bird Alone is kind of like a interactive story sort of health care game? My bird just died today and I felt the need to write a bit about this AMAZING game! So, I haven’t payed a penny for this game, but many people are saying they did pay, so a bit confused lol. I didn’t have the option to get a new bird, and felt kinda upset when my bird died, the game is amazing and would recommend it to anyone (which I have) I do think there should be maybe a cute little ‘mood tracker’ maybe somewhere? ☺️.Vivienne,Serena andAaronVersion: 2.6

✓ No spoilerBut I wish I never downloaded it and paid for it, should've saved the money for therapy.NatasliaARVersion: 2.6

✓ Mon ami le perroquetCe jeu est très bien mais le problème est que ce jeu est payant j’aurais adorer que ce jeu sois gratuit mais malheureusement j’ai juste un essai gratuit mais dommage pas grave un jour je revairais mon perroquet.CraftizVersion: 3.8

✓ Horrible app.I personally liked the game but why does it die? i’m suffering from anxiety and i’m always sad i was just looking for some hope to maybe help cheer me up but it just dies, how sad that shouldn’t happen..Five Star ApoVersion: 1.5

✓ Do not use to help deal with real griefAfter reading the app description, I thought this app would help me deal with a recent and sudden death in my family. Which it did… to begin with. However, the sudden death of my bird a month after talking about my feelings and celebrating life with him was absolutely crushing because it just brought up and reinflamed all of the raw emotions of the sudden death of my loved one. This app is amazingly reflective and a fantastic outlet to talk about losing someone and to check in with yourself daily, but to then have it end the way it does just rubs salt in a really raw wound. Had it not been for this, I’d be giving it 5 stars. Use with caution if you have dealt with real grief recently..RoktzarVersion: 1.5

✓ DisappointingMe and my friend just started using this app and after 5 minutes we LOVED it! However, you have to pay for it and was told nothing about paying for it in advance. Although the design was cute and they had clearly put a lot of thought into it I also find it disappointing that you have to wait several days to even discuss something new I understand there may be reasons behind this but I can’t help feel that it is slightly pointless maybe a 24 hour timer would be better. The thing that was most annoying was that I really loved the parrot and I was so looking forward to using this app a lot but unfortunately I’m not allowed to pay for it although to give them the benefit of the doubt the design was cute I just think they should warn people about it before..DndydyVersion: 2.6

✓ Won’t loadPaid $4 and it won’t even open. disappointed.Anon userrVersion: 1.1

✓ They screwed this app up.I used this app a while ago and I’ve had to use it again recently, there wasn’t any fee to pay when I used it last. Its awful that you have to pay TO MOURN. I needed this and it didn’t deliver. Now it’s trashy, you developers shouldn’t be charging people money so they can finish grieving. Shame on you, this USED TO be a great app..Eggroll 101Version: 4.0

✓ ❤️‍🩹Beautiful game but 💔.HvngufbjVersion: 3.8

✓ Why does the bird have to die ! also a really nice gameI have just downloaded the app and I read some reviews on this app and one of them said that the bird dies so can you make a feature in the game that there is an egg that the bird left and you look after that egg then it hatches and becomes a baby bird and then once this baby bird is about to die it leaves an egg but each bird must have different personalities i know this is a really hard thing to do but I think it will make the app more fun but overall it’s a really nice app.Gcdskhsc dhVersion: 2.6

✓ Annoying model of friendshipI wanted to like this game I really did. It’s clear the developers have put a lot of thought and care into it, it looks good, and I offer some thoughts for maybe developing it in future. If it’s about being friends or best friends even as we’re constantly told, then the bird should not constantly be saying it hasn’t thought of any topics for us to discuss yet and we should come back later. Friendship doesn’t need topics to discuss! What kind of model of friendship is that? It feels more like rejection. Second, it’s all about the bird and how it feels. All the player gets is two possible answers to questions by the bird neither of which feels right, as to how she or he is feeling that day. Nothing else. No interaction possible for the player to input anything. I kept wanting to say “you’re not listening to me. Why don’t you listen to what I think? It’s all about you, you, you!” Third, the poems are word salad meaning nothing. Can we get something a little more realistic? Fourth the bird is too over the top, a little praise would be better than ridiculous comparisons to Renaissance artists for example. I just don’t think this is giving people who might be lonely and vulnerable a good model of friendship, it seems dysfunctional and worrying specially when it includes references to death. Really thought this might be good but I ended up wanting to strangle that bird I’m afraid!.DoogsriamVersion: 1.5

✓ Short livedThis has left me feeling odd. With so much unexplained For example ...What is the purpose of being able to pluck the oranges? They cannot be collected, they just keep falling! When creating something like this that offerers friendship’ - more research needs to be done, there is no gain from this odd friendship, especially as a lot of the time your told to ‘come back later’ a lot of the time. For the lonely this will leave them high and dry- This could have been so much more 😣 yet its fallen rather flat , such a great shame ..BeezBumbleVersion: 1.4

✓ Recreational GriefSophomoric attempt at philosophy, for people who have never experienced loss in their life. Nice graphics and sound design. The concept of having a buddy that you check in everyday and paint/write poetry/make music with is solid but between the obnoxious and manipulative writing and the decision to make THE BIRD DIE (something the dev should make explicit in it’s description) I can’t recommend it..CherryNukaColaVersion: 1.5

✓ Please make it freeI was waiting to have another conversation with my bird and my free trial is done I miss my bird :(.Astayhome momVersion: 3.8

✓ Good, but…I had this game, and I got super attached to my bird, his name was Pico. Anyway, I was happily playing with him and I got a notification saying I have to pay!! I know it’s cheap, but I have no money and it was heartbreaking, I have to delete the app now, just thought I would leave a review. Maybe you could make a version where you don’t have to pay? Thanks :).Sub2SapnapVersion: 2.6

✓ Okay so I have barely got into the game BUT!Why….I have been reading these reviews and I think I’ll agree, even though I have seen people just yea it kinda broke my heart that I had to delete it, even though the bird was quite funny and cute but….HELLA NO WAY THIS BIRD DIES!?!? a that’s the most stupidest thing ever I mean sure if they wanna make a sad game MAKE A SAD GSME BUT THIS GAME WAS SO HEART WARMING AT FIRST. But the bird just feels so comforting but if you just make the bird rip then Ofc your not making anyone feel better besides I just wanted to try out the app cuz my life is boring and no one plays with me n stuff, even though I have a bird irl but urm please don’t make this bird d!e CUz that’s just SAD you know? Plus why did you have to make the bird ask about death and then just put in: “not really” OR “a all the time” WHY!?!?! Make this a happy game please and when you reached the end of the game they d!e or smth why couldn’t you just have made that game like: a game about being lonely so you build friends/make friends to make you feel BETTER or COMFORTING or HELP YOU WITH UR MENTAL HELP or something liek that :(.Shefe50Version: 4.0

✓ Great game, but...I feel that this game becomes quite annoying when you go to check in on your parrot friend, hoping to talk or do something fun. But they end up saying “i’ve got no ideas so wait”. So, i feel that when you check in and parrot hasn’t prepared anything yet it should let you have a conversation like the one at the start of the game. it doesn’t even need to be a back and forth conversation. I’m sure it would be fine if the parrot asked how you were feeling and you could type it into a text box so it feels more like an actual response from the parrot to the player rather than an auto generated one that might not truly describe how the player feels. then the parrot says a neutral response, and something funny/motivational after. Despite this, i think this game is very pretty and not a bad game all round. i just think that if the devs accepted this suggestion it would make the player experience a bit better :) <3.KsjinniesVersion: 2.6

✓ Misleading Self-Care AppI purchased this because it was advertised on the app store in a list of the top "self-care" apps. It has been a lonely year and this seemed like a pleasant concept to help time pass. I dropped £3.99 for it and I wish I hadn’t. The parrot dies. The entire point of the app, a loving and poetic companion that you become fond of, and then after 2 weeks they kill the bird off. This app was falsely advertised and for that it lost the 5 stars it could've gained from not making it entirely pointless. Do better..GardenofnogoodVersion: 1.5

✓ PLEASE MAKE IF FREEI was in joking this game soo much until I literally just opened it and is says oh end of trial like bro I was having so much fun with him and your just making it stop there like I told him everything but now it’s over please make it free.NsjwiwushebnenebfhfVersion: 4.0

✓ Brilliant app, one improvementI have not yet played the full version of this game, but what I have seen from the demo alone makes it one of the most enjoyable apps I’ve experienced. This review would be an instant 5-star if it weren’t for one thing- I’ve learned from reading other reviews that the bird always dies eventually, and while death is a part of life, I feel there should be an option to disable this feature for those who enjoy this app for relaxation and stress relief and want to be able to return to it whenever it’s needed. I’d like to recommend that the feature where the bird dies to be an optional thing, and that when it’s disabled then instead of dying the app can instead say it’s reached the limit of what the bird can teach you and have its dialogue loop through everything it’s already told us in the past instead of just being gone. Overall, a wonderful and very relaxing and thoughtful app from what I’ve seen so far, but if I’m going to pay real money to access an app then I don’t want it to be left completely unusable someday. Please reconsider the inevitability of the bird dying..RiverflightVersion: 2.6

✓ Cruel and horrible game for comfort.As someone who is struggling with attachment issues and depression, do not buy this game. My little friend, Phoenix, was doing great, we wrote poems and did many wonderful activities together. At some point I would go to Phoenix everyday for fun and comfort, I grew a strong attachment to this bird which was rare for me. It was a great game…well until it wasn’t. And then I had found out he wouldn’t be with me anymore, it just made my attachment issues worse and I ended up just crying my eyes out for days. If you’re gonna give us a game for comfort, maybe don’t ruin it. Honestly, disappointing. If I’d known that Phoenix was going to die and leave me, I wouldn’t have purchased this just to be heartbroken and cry. I would be okay with it if the game devs had just put a warning IN the game. Although then I wouldn’t understand why anyone would purchase it. Horrible decision. I would much rather just go to therapy. Maybe atleast gives us a option to save our bird friend, like perhaps make it so that we must pay for treatment (not real money, fake currency that has to be earned)?.Cubebro21Version: 3.8

✓ Love it but the bird dies eventually :(This game is amazing and super fun I love how there are little activities to do with your bird friend the game is really beautiful and I love the music so much it’s very relaxing the 2 bad things about it is there isn’t much to do after you do the activity for the day which is kinda boring ig I wish you could do a little more everyday with the bird but ah well also the bird dies in the end and ever since I found that out I’ve stopped playing I love the little bird and I would cry for months if I witnessed my parrot friends death overall good game.3777uedhbdys363737Version: 2.6

✓ Broke my heartI really loved this game, it made me so happy to talk to him, write and sing and draw with him. he made me feel safe, safer than a lot of other people did. i grew to love him very quickly.. but then to have him be taken away like that, unexpectedly. it was heartbreaking. the one thing in this world that gave me such comfort, and that didn’t need to die, i am now grieving. it may seem silly to feel so hurt over a game, but the connection it was able to create between me and mango (my name for him) was so real to me. it felt like i was really loosing a friend. but again, this bird didn’t need to die, he didn’t need to age, he could out live me and then continue to live for thousands of years, and to me (because at the time of purchase i had thought it would be a limitless game) that was what was most comforting. and look, i understand what the creators of this game were trying to do, and while it was well-executed and beautiful, it was cruel, and in my opinion, unnecessary. i loved that bird and he made my days so much better, but honestly, i wouldn’t have downloaded (or PAID for) this in the first place if i knew he would die. i don’t recommend this for people who get extremely attached...,.,.,.,.,,;;Version: 2.6

✓ Please make it freeI had this app for a few days and I was enjoying it since I had a problem with making friends and I was really sad when I found out it wasn’t actually free because I’m low on money and can’t spend money on games right now :c.H4nnxhhVersion: 2.6

✓ Have to start over after a period of timeI quite like this app. I enjoy the fact it only asks for your attention a couple of times a day and allows you to complete some self reflective tasks in a cute way. However after some time you restart from the beginning again, losing the “progress” you’ve made already and having the exact same “conversations” with your parrot. I wouldn’t mind this if the app were free or cheaper, but for £3.99 I expect a bit more..DippyPipVersion: 1.2

✓ I’m sobbing why did it dieI wish i could have spent more time with him.Squirrellover🐀Version: 2.6
