The Engineer shooing away a bird

Birds appear in all Valve-made maps (excluding Arena maps and Item Test). When a bird is attacked or touched by a player, it will explode. The explosion causes no damage or knockback. Birds that have exploded will re-appear at the beginning of a new round.

There are 78 birds in total.

Locations

See Bird locations for a listing of all bird sightings.

Gallery

Bugs

  • There is a bird near the center of Well on a rafter that seemingly cannot be killed, as it is inside of a clip brush that blocks all weapons fire or entry. None of the other birds have this problem. This bird can only be killed through the use of noclip or sticky jumping and hitting it with the Ullapool Caber.

Trivia

  • Birds can be seen in a teaser image of Meet the Medic,[1] and the final panel of Meet the Director.[2]
  • Birds do not move, blink, or fly - they remain perfectly stationary until they explode.
