Hi! It's not open source right now, but I might open source it in the future when I decide on a license. My code has no comments though. I did write a tutorial that should get you set if you're looking to do something similar: here. It's a bit of a work-in-progress though. There's also another tutorial if you google "python desktop pet tutorial", but I found it a bit confusing. Hope that helps!
Thanks! I'll have to think about that in the future (planning on updating this). And I'll add a direct link to the source code later, for anyone interested.
Fun guy! Thanks for making this, bought me some joy. Some things:
He can walk over to my second monitor which is offset lower than my main monitor, and he will float in the middle of the second monitor (aligned to the taskbar of the first)
pyinstaller causes a lot of antivirus false positives. I'm not sure it's possible to solve that. I could upload the source code, but that would require installing python and some modules

hi there! thanks for the tutorial, it's quite helpful! and as for the source code, dont worry about it!
Yay i have birb in computer! :D
yay :) birdie yay it works :):)
how do i open it it says system error
it might require Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (see my reply to guilber below). otherwise it could be an antivirus issue
my app not open
only cmd open of 2 segonds
you can just close the cmd.exe window that opens
how to get off birb?
birb :D
Will there be a version for the Mac?
Probably not, sadly. The code is windows-specific and I didn't manage to get it working on linux either
i want to try to port it to mac now ill let you know if i can
Mycket bra fågel. Jag ser att det är väldigt smol!
Bird customization would be nice. Though that could be a little complex. I see you used tkinter. Nice.
Thanks! I'll have to think about that in the future (planning on updating this). And I'll add a direct link to the source code later, for anyone interested.
+1 for some way to move the guy as well. Would be fun to be able to pick him up and move him
2 it would be nice if he had a birdhouse for him
+3 make him sit on your mouse
Fun guy! Thanks for making this, bought me some joy. Some things:
aww thanks! I appreciate the feedback, will work on both these points in the future
Super cute bird! I think there may be a typo in your description that you would want to fix. Do you mean "unlike" rather than "unless"?
hey thanks ! ♥
Absolutely :'D Thanks for pointing it out !
it would be cool if you took the cmd out of the taskbars
what do I do? Windows presented this error, Windows cannot access the device path or file
you might need to install "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable", if you don't already have it:
64 bit
32 bit
if that's not the issue, then I'm not sure
I found out what happened avast is deleting it
thanks for letting me know! thought I'd solved that issue :(
That's a good idea! I'm planning on adding that in the future.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it :)
bird :)
When I went to download this it was flagged as a virus
go into defender, select “allow on device”, and start actions to enable bird :) windows detects it as a virus because windows is cock and balls

I switched from pyinstaller to cx_Freeze. Could you check if it still gets flagged for you?
