desktop bird
A downloadable friend for Windows
Have you ever wanted a small bird friend for your desktop?
Of course you did. Here's the answer to your wishes !
He will bounces along your windows taskbar, minding his own business while you're working. Unlike a certain goose, this one actually respects your time and don't want to disrupt your workflow. Though, he sometimes get hungry, so he might peck around for a bit.
Features :
- A really cute bird
- Does nothing incredible
- He's really cute though
- Look at that fluffy belly
This bird was initially made for a Ludum Dare submission, that you can play for free right here !

desktop butterfly is a virus

SO BAD IT HAS 4000 FILES TO ETRACT IT TOOK 2 DAYS JUST TO OPEN CMD AND WHEN I REINSTALLED IT IT DID NOT WORK
maybe its time to get a new pc man
nahhhh i will stick with windows me
When I extract the files to my desktop, my desktop became FULL,
(I thought it was gonna be one file of all the stuff)
Whoops, sorry about that! Somehow I never realized I made the zip file like that...
doesnt work L
"unlike a certain goose"made me laugh we all know what goose it is
aight so if i pair the borb with the baba friend,it dosent lag,but if i add ONE SINGLE GOOSE it lags hard.
i downloaded this and my cpu started frying and when i play stuff,it lags
can i trust this thing?
im going to istall it again,if it lags again, i dont even kno
trojan..
The game won't start(
Why does it keep bashing its head like that? Cardinals dont behave like that.
Idk XD
(it does for me too)
is this a virus?
nah
no
can you make a mac version?
why does VirusTotal says this got a trojan?🤨
Unfortunately it's a common issue for python programs packaged with Pyinstaller or cx_Freeze :(
virus?
Omg your tutorial is amazing!!! Thank you so much! I wish I had seen this before I spent all the time figuring it out haha, making the tkinter background transparent was a nightmare
Aww thank you! I'm happy you found it useful.
I learnt it from another tutorial, but found the code a bit confusing.
At some point I'd like to try making a desktop pet with another programming language or library. Looks like pygame could be a good choice, but I'm guessing any other game framework/library that can draw transparent windows would work well too.
