You search "big bird timer" wanting one of two things: a timer you can actually see from where you're sitting, or a bird that makes the boring 25 minutes bearable. This page serves the second one honestly and tells you exactly what it can and can't do about the first.
The real timer runs its countdown at 70px with tabular digits — that's the biggest number in the tab, and the animated bird sits directly above it.
It's a bird built out of parts — wings, tail, crest, eyes, legs — and the parts move. During a focus block it flaps. On a break it sleeps. When the block ends, confetti lands on the screen. If you quit early it sulks, and the mood, level and streak counters below the bird reflect that. Four species (robin, kingfisher, long-tailed tit, canary), each with its own behaviour, picked from the selector under the bird.
Some people searching this phrase want a giant classroom or gym wall clock. Pomodoro Bird doesn't do fullscreen wall display today — the countdown is 70px and the layout is built for a normal browser tab, not a projector. If that's your use case, use the countdown timer and zoom your browser to 300% (Ctrl/Cmd +), which is a workable hack, and know the bird version is designed for one person at one desk, not a room of thirty.
Students who can start a 25-minute block when a bird is watching, and remote workers who want the desk-pet feeling without installing a .exe. Pair it with the study timer for long revision days and the cute pet timer page if you care more about the shop than the streak.
No. "Big Bird" as a character is a Sesame Workshop trademark and we are not affiliated with or licensed by them. This page is about a big animated bird that works next to your pomodoro timer — the search phrase just happens to overlap.
Not by design. The digits render at 70px for a desk distance. There's no fullscreen giant-display mode yet; zoom the browser tab if you need it from the back of the room.
Yes — its state is tied to your behaviour. It flaps while focusing, sleeps on breaks, celebrates finished blocks with confetti, and its mood drops when you quit. Three quits and the eyes go red; three days away and it greets you like you've been gone a month.
The shop runs on grain, not money — birds and accessories unlock with focus time and daily check-ins. Sessions come with a cap: 10 free as a guest, 50 with an account, and a paid plan lifts it (the paid checkout isn't open yet, so nothing is charged today).
It's a web page, so yes — no installer, no admin rights. Add it to your home screen on a phone and it behaves like a light app.
