Top 5 games that sound like bird noises photo

You've read them all -- lists of Top 5 games that do this and do that, but I bet you've yet to come across one packed with aviary flu as this! Please let me explain:

I recently found myself in a heated exchange among friends discussing GRAW. In a lucid and numbed state, it dawned on me that they were very pigeon-like, cawing at each other like some fluttering pigeons in a gay mating ritual. "GRAW! GRAW!", they would heave, pounding their necks forward and back to reach for Tostitos. Their arms sometimes would sometimes pinch together to meet their Corona, and I would see a little chickenwing form there momentarily.

Thus, it spawned the idea you unfortunately cannot help but continue reading: A list of games that sound like bird noises. This is part 1 of a series -- you've been warned. [Special thanks to all contributing Destructoid editors.]

 

Number 5 pictured above: Pikmin! If you disagree, you've never been attacked by a flock of birds before, so your opinion is as valuable as stock in Atari.

Number 4: GRAW. Seriously, next time you find yourself alone and bored in your bathroom, try it flapping your arms like that in front of the mirror and say GRAW over and over. You'll feel so raped that you actually took my advice.

Number 3: KAMEO. Imagine a fat little parrot belting that out as you walk past it condescendingly in a bird store. Yeah, it knows you don't like birds and are there to snuggle kittens, and if it had a knife and opposable thumbs you'd be bleeding profusely from the neck as it stabbed you repeatedly in the face, skinny little feet leaving red prints all over the GAP shirt your mom bought you two years ago that up until this moment resisted noticible wear in your laundry.

Number 2: Okami! Okami! So cute, Meg might approve.


 

And the top bird-like sounding game is.... 

Spoken by many species, Ico is actually in the bird dictionary. The phrase can usually be heard in the courting phase of their relationship, which roughly translates to "stop following me".

I always thought when parrots said "Hello" it sounded like "HaLO".

I didn't see "The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, The Rise of the Witch-King" on the list. That sounds almost identical to a very drunken song-bird all hopped up on PCP.

@ DJ Duffy:

I measured my satisfaction level on my Satisfaction Level Machine (patent pending) when Dtoid barely posted anything on a slow news day and when they posted stuff like this on slow news days.

Captain obvious says: My satisfaction level was higher on the days they posted stuff like this.

Nobody made one for "KOTOR"?!
