You are a bird. You have a nest. Other birds want your eggs. Birds of War is a team-based aerial PvP game. Raid nests, steal eggs, fight beak-to-beak in fast, chaotic matches built around flight and combat. Your mic is always hot. Your enemies can hear you. Plan accordingly.

Birds of War is a team-based aerial PvP game where you play as a bird protecting a nest while rival teams try to take its eggs. Matches pit three teams of three against one another.
Raid other nests, carry eggs back to your own, and defend what you have taken. The team with the most eggs in its nest when the match ends wins.
Choose from bird classes with different roles and abilities, then use flight and melee combat to pursue or evade opponents. Momentum, dives, attacks, blocks, and dodges shape its physics-driven fights.
Players who enjoy Birds of War often praise its unusual bird-versus-bird premise, lively aerial movement, and fast, physics-driven fights. Reviews also highlight the different playstyles among bird classes and the comic, social moments that proximity chat can create. Experiences are mixed: recurring complaints include low player numbers and long queues, uneven matches for newcomers, and a steep learning curve; some players also criticize toxic voice chat and bugs.
A Shoebill just headbutted your teammate into a tree. A Crow is halfway home with your last egg, and every enemy on the map can hear you losing it over voice chat.
3v3v3 aerial combat. Nine birds, three nests, one goal: the team with the most eggs in their nest at the end wins.
Raid enemy nests, extract their eggs, bring them home, and defend your own nest while everything falls apart around you.
Proximity chat is active in every game. You will hear the enemy before you see them, and they will hear you too.
Four birds at launch, with more on the way: Crow the stealth assassin, Hummingbird the speed demon, Shoebill the tank, and Pigeon the support menace with UAV-style marking.
Combat is melee-first and physics-driven. Every elimination feels earned, and every fight feels like an all-out war.
Zero pay-to-win. Nothing in the shop makes your bird hit harder or fly faster.
In late 2025, we saw a meme about a fake bird game that did not exist. HexNest Games is now building it in Unreal Engine 5 with the support of the Discord community.
