Birds of War
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.

16 itemsAbout the Game
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.
WELCOME TO BIRDS OF WAR
3v3v3 aerial combat. Nine birds, three nests, one goal: the team with the most eggs in their nest at the end wins.
NO EGG LEFT BEHIND
Raid enemy nests, extract their eggs, bring them home, and defend your own nest while everything falls apart around you.
THEY CAN HEAR YOU
Proximity chat is active in every game. You will hear the enemy before you see them, and they will hear you too.
CHOOSE YOUR BIRD
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.
EVERY HIT RAGDOLLS
Combat is melee-first and physics-driven. Every elimination feels earned, and every fight feels like an all-out war.
PAY TO FLEX, NOT PAY TO WIN
Zero pay-to-win. Nothing in the shop makes your bird hit harder or fly faster.
THE INTERNET DID THIS
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.
Get in now. Watch it grow. Break it with us.
