Getting advice from TikTok is always dicey, but people are into this: Have you seen the "BIRD THEORY" videos that are all over social media?
It's a test that's supposed to show how strong your relationship it. Someone came up with it a few years ago, but it's blowing up. Google says searches for it just hit an all-time high. Searches for "I saw a bird today" are also trending.
So what is it? "Bird theory" or "the bird test" is supposed to show how interested your partner is in the things YOU care about . . . even when they're boring.
All you do is tell them, "I saw a bird today" . . . and try to sound enthusiastic. Like, you're kind of EXCITED you saw this bird.
If they match your excitement and ask questions like "what kind of bird," it means they're a keeper. If they don't engage at all, you're doomed.
It's mostly women doing it to men. You can make it harder by waiting until he's distracted. Like try it while he's playing a game or watching the World Series.
