VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL AUDIENCES!
Would you trust a conversation about birds to determine the fate of your relationship? There's a new TikTok trend going viral called "The Bird Test" that's supposed to help you decide if a friendly or romantic connection between two people has longevity.
The concept is you should start a conversation about something insignificant, for example, a bird outside, and wait to see if the other person acts like they're interested or not.
In a viral TikTok video, 23-year-old Alyssa Caribardi says, “I live and die by the f**king bird test; it never fails.”
Alyssa says, “I do this with friends, family members, literally anyone that I meet,” continued Caribardi. “If they pass the bird test, I tell them so fast because this s**t is so fascinating.”
Caribardi offered her viewers an explanation for the origin of the test: she and a new friend were at Starbucks when she noticed a woodpecker outside.
She mentioned it to her coffee date, and the two spent the next 10 minutes Googling facts about the bird.
She immediately took note of her date's interest and took it as an indicator of lasting chemistry.
