FAQ

The game runs too fast!
it was very much not made for modern computers, and the game loses its tiny little mind when given too many computer cycles. i recommend using a virtual machine and turning the processor down until the birds stop teleporting places
All the birds in this cage are dead!
i may have missed cleaning up some cages and setting them to not calculate time when loaded. let me know which one it was and i'll update the download!
My birds are sick/what do I feed them?
check my illness and food/meds pages for help. leave me a message on my neocities profile if you need further assistance
How do I play?
create or load cage, place items anywhere you wish, select birds, feed them. now you watch and enjoy your desktop pet :)
What's the difference between your Pinna download and the one I see on abandonware sites?
i haven't checked every single abandonware site, but the ones i've seen all had duplicate files left over from the translation process. lots of food and items and backgrounds with names that don't display correctly. i've removed all of the duplicate files, cleaned up all the cages, and set them to not autorun when turned on. leave me a message on my neocities profile if you find any that i missed
Why should I trust you and your download?
you shouldn't! you don't know me, i'm just a stranger on the internet. run the files through at least one virus scanner, and remember to never trust anyone online.

Pinna: Desktop Life: this is my personal cleaned-up copy of the game. i've removed duplicate files and attempted to clean up all the cages to prevent "every cage is full of dead birds" syndrome
