A viral trend on TikTok, known as the “bird theory,” could be the way to see if your partner listens to you.
First coined in 2023 by a TikTok user named Alyssa, the “bird theory” or “bird test” is meant to help people determine if their relationship will go the distance. To perform this test, one person has to point out something insignificant, like a bird perched outside. The goal is to have your partner respond with genuine curiosity.
