Hear me out, but birds are pretty smart creatures. Parrots, for example, are amazing at mimicking sound, and can be taught tricks. Seagulls are devious creatures with a knack for stealing anything that is remotely edible. Some birds, such as crows, are known to use tools to solve problems; some cockatoos are able to go even further and craft their own.
However, many bird owners will probably agree that birds can sometimes be too smart for their own good and wreak all kinds of havoc. Thanks to the likes of Youtube and TikTok, there are many videos that show the good (talented), the bad (chaotic), and the ugly (downright naughty) things that these feathered fiends are capable of. And so, for all the bird-loving gamers out there, here are three absurd and chaotic games for Nintendo Switch that honour the bird:
Untitled Goose Game is an indie slapstick-stealth-sandbox game developed by House House and published by Panic. Players take on the role of a mischievous goose who’s only goal is to bother the residents of an English village with its heinous shenanigans.

SkateBIRD is an upcoming (2020) indie game developed by Glass Bottom Games (a tiny 4 people studio creating adorable things). In SkateBIRD players assume the roll of ‘Skatbird’, who is an adorable and easygoing bird who just wants to listen to rad music through their headphones and skate the night (and day) away.
