Play Bird Week Online

Bird Week came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, developed by Lenar. It was part of that early wave of NES games that often experimented with simple concepts, sometimes feeling more like a quirky tech demo than a full-fledged adventure. You don't play a hero; you're just a mother bird trying to survive.

You control the mother bird, flying from screen to screen in a side-scrolling environment. Your only goal is to find worms and bring them back to your perpetually hungry chicks in the nest. The core mechanics involve precise flying to avoid predators like snakes and eagles, picking up worms with careful timing, and navigating back home without getting hit. The pacing is relentless; the chicks' constant chirping creates a genuine sense of urgency that makes every mistake feel costly. It feels like a frantic race against your own family's demands.
