What is the Bird error code inDestiny 2?
The good news is thatDestiny 2‘s Bird error code isn’t anything too complex.According to developer Bungie, Bird simply refers to a general networking issue, meaning the problem lies with your own internet connection or theDestiny 2servers.

The bad news is, if the Bird error code is due toDestiny 2‘s servers going down, there’s little you can do but wait for them to come back online. If the problem lies with your own internet connection, resetting your router will ideally be enough to solve it. This isn’t always guaranteed to work, though, so it’s also worth checking for updates in case there’s a patch you’ve missed.
