You are a volunteer at a bird sanctuary, cooperating to rehabilitate nervous birds by keeping them calm as they are introduced to the flock. One player is The Handler, posing their hands as necessary to receive each incoming bird and to balance the growing flock.

The rest of the crew? Easy. Draw a card, wait for the Handler's signal, and give 'em the bird. The game ends when the crew takes 3 bird droppings.

The Bird is a silly but challengin dexterity party game that uses fun plastic balancing birds from your childhood. The twist is you must push your luck, posing and reposing your hands, to balance as many birds as you can.
