Something on your desktop that notices when you're here. Little birds that perch by your icons, react when you're near, and stay — quietly, without ever needing anything from you.
You're not the only one at this desk anymore.
Birch puts small, living birds right on your Windows desktop.
Not in a window you have to open. Right there, in the space
where you already spend your hours.
They go about their day next to yours — walking your taskbar,
settling on your icons, dozing off, waking up. And every so
often, one of them notices you're there.
You don't have to feed them. You don't have to do anything.
They just keep you company while you work, and the longer
they're around, the more this starts to feel like their home too.Stay a while, and they warm up to you.
Spend quiet time near them and something shifts — they sit a
little closer, react a little differently. Be around long enough,
and one of them might bring a friend.Features
Multiple bird species, each with a unique personality and movement style
Interactive — birds react when you hover or click near them
Perches on your real desktop icons, not just the background
Dynamic behavior: idle, walk, fly, rest, startled, and more
Familiarity system — the more time you spend together, the warmer they become
Unlock system — discover new species by bonding with your current birds
Multi-monitor support
Lightweight — runs quietly in the system tray, never gets in your wayBirds available at launch
White Cockatoo — sociable and restless, always claiming the nearest icon
Yellow Cockatoo — active and expressive, hard to ignore
Eagle — calm and deliberate, flies in clean straight lines
Owl — sleeps through your workday. Comes alive after dark.
Sparrow — can't sit still for two seconds
Chicken — can't fly, but hops between icons with surprising conviction
Woodpecker — the only one that perches sideways on your icons
Toucan — hard to miss
Flamingo — stays low, moves at its own pace
Long-tailed Tit — tiny, fast, never stops
Swallow — almost never lands; when it does, it won't stay long
Java Sparrow — calm and compact, happy just to sit closeHow it works
Birch runs as a transparent overlay above your desktop.
Your birds are always visible, but never block your windows or work.
Access settings or hide all birds anytime from the system tray icon.
