The TikTok Bird Trend is extremely popular right now, and it is easy to see why. It looks funny and lots of fun to do, but only if you know how.

Fortunately, it is way simpler than most people would think, and these TikTokers will show you how.

The tutorial video begins by showing a guy who has pulled his arms into his T-Shirt and then put his hands out the bottom. That’s a pretty simple step one.

Sure, it looks goofy, but that’s the point.

The girl has her arm out resting on a table, ready for him to ‘perch’ on it like a bird.

So far, this is pretty simple, but where will his legs go?

The guy then shows himself putting his legs back onto the couch behind him, getting into a position like a pushup, but with his hands on her arm.

Ahh, it is all making sense now.

He then starts bobbing his head around like a bird. It is so funny, but a lot easier than I expected.

It is nice when trends like this don’t require any special equipment or skills.

Watch their quick video below to see exactly how it is done.
