Captivating environment.
1 2 3 yes

Theme was "feather" not "bird".

Interesting gameplay.
Becomes boring real quick though.

there's a good idea in here somewhere, and some of the game was funny like the parrot rocking out to the tunes. however it seemed to be pretty buggy, sometimes the wife hand would bring the "order wife" text and drop it as an item. i couldn't get the hypodermic or pill to work at all, and the parrot usually demanded something else by the time i got his item to him. i also couldn't tell which (if any) of the bars were my injuries, and washing up didn't seem to do anything.

Couldn't really get the fun of this game...

Seems like it could have been good if it was more intuitive... Didn't see a readme and a lot of
stuff was stuffed in the top-level directory :S

There doesn't seem to be enough of the game implemented to make it playable.

The instructions talk about a bunch of things that don't seem to work.

The parrot's demands are really irritating. I'm far more inclined to quit the game than continue listening to his petulant yelling. Perhaps something more parrot-like and less grating would work better.

As an aside, I found the "order wife to get something" button offensive. I'd strongly recommend changing "order" to "ask" or something less aggressive.

There isn't much more I can say about such an incomplete game. Not enough of it works to give me a clear idea of what the game actually is, never mind how it could be improved.

Never had any food to give the parrot :(

Umm, WTF? I'd kill that parrot after about a day.

Sorry, but I found this just about incomprehensible. The hints and the voice suggest you're supposed to be able to move the bird, but I never figured that out. The bird asked for lettuce, which I gave it and it didn't get eaten. Some of the items didn't seem to do anything at all. It would have been nice if you'd told us what parts didn't get implemented, so I didn't waste so much time trying to figure them out.

not much to add - I did not know what's going on and how to keep my parrot intact in any way..

The production of the game (except the rap music and the parrot drawing) scares a bit, but the
game seems to be built in a very unique idea, but the game is a bit hard to be played.

Caring for an electronic mascot is boring. If some puzzling or ability were needed to produce the necessary actions, well, maybe it would have been fun.(sorry)<br>

Not much to see yet and still buggy.

The gameplay is there but it seems 'unfinished' to me.

Huh, what was this about?

Very confusing game, needs more player feedback - its hard to know when you are doing right.. could be fun though.

The game doesn't really have much point ATM.

Interesting idea. The bird ran out of feathers so quick. where did they go!

Appears to be some kind of overcomplicated tamagochi with a barely usable interface. But it certainly has some personality in the theme, the voice of the parrot and other small details.

difficult to understand, seemed quite random.
the music, do you have a license for that?
1 2 3

I didn't understand this game. To complicated or something I guess :)

The game is very promising, kind of an evil Tamagochi... Too bad that so many features aren't implemented (yet).

Good idea but I can't interact well with the parrot

Not the best game I've played by a long shot. Tamagtochi-like game play didn't excite me. The
'Order wife to get something' button was rather offensive.

order wife to get something? wow, no wonder the parrot is so rude

Hilarious parrot talk. Thanks for a great pyweek game!

I don't get the 'hygiene' or 'feathers' gauges though. I try rubbing him with a washcloth in the cage (he doesn't like it :-) but to no effect except biting?

Anyway, thoroughly amusing nontheless. Thanks!

Controls don't seem to work properly. Dropping things in dish is very unreliable, and I couldn't get pills, cloth or syringe to do anything at all. Amusing bug: Wife sometimes brings in an "Order wife to get something" button!

Funny. Thought the lettuce was a cloth, so I rubbed the parrot with the lettuce and he did not get clean.
