Haha no, I don't think that's even possible time-wise, but thank you for reminding me of that bit! I don't personally remember hearing it before making this game, but it definitely has the right energy for Birds Love Dirt! A be-beaked bird would be an excellent choice :)
Birds Love Dirt is a short, glorious trpg about being a bird that loves dirt.
It's 2 pages with a solid, easy to read layout.
To play, you decide what kind of bird you are, find some dirt, and PLAY IN THAT DIRT!
There's variant rules, in which you might play indoors with a mountain of blankets instead, but regardless of your setting it's hard not to like the dada-istic concept or the game's contagious enthusiasm.
Overall, if you're looking for an excuse to be a bird and/or play in dirt, this is a good game for that. But it's probably even better reading for game designers, as it does a really wonderful job forgetting all other concerns and focusing on the joy of playing.
Oh wow, thank you! It means so much to me to hear this goofy little game I took so much joy in writing delivers some of that joy to others too. It's all I ever really hoped this game could do! ❤ 🐤

Is this... is this bird larp the origin of the legendary "50 ways to describe birds" MBMBAM clip?

Birds Love Dirt! is a fun short LARP where you play as birds that love dirt. Just go outside, pretend you're a bird and play with some dirt!

I appreciate this. Birds and dirt are exactly what I wanted.
You know, I actually really like this. Hope I get the bird buddies necessary to play this in a flock one day.
