Bird's The Word
Also known as: Bird's Word, Bird's The Word OG
Bird's The Word Strain Overview
Bird's The Word is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have been popularized by breeders in Oregon and Washington who were experimenting with OG Kush phenotypes. The name appears to be a playful reference to the 1963 hit song "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen, which features the repetitive lyric "bird is the word," though the specific connection to the strain's characteristics remains unclear.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of milky-white trichomes covers the buds, giving them a frosty appearance, while vibrant orange pistils weave throughout the structure. The nugs are known for their exceptional density and resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Bird's The Word has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced characteristics. The strain's genetics have contributed to several derivative crosses, though it remains most celebrated in its original form within certain regional cannabis communities.

Bird's The Word Strain Growing Information
Bird's The Word is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit hybrid structure with moderate height (typically reaching 120-160 cm indoors, 180-220 cm outdoors) and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Bird's The Word prefers stable conditions and is somewhat sensitive to environmental fluctuations, particularly during the flowering phase. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds.
