A fun and simple game allowing you to help a bird with a broken wing, navigate the treacherous telephone poles in the city. You must BLOW towards the bottom of the phone in short bursts to lift up the bird. Important : The bird is very nervous and loud noises tend to make it jumpy, please play in a quiet area. Warning : This game requires you to constantly be blowing, please be careful when playing. If you start to get light headed, please stop playing for awhile. :) No animals were harmed in the making of this app. With mirrors and special effects, we were able to hide the bird and explode a feather pillow to get the result you see while playing.
