Birds in Blaseball Mythology

Birds' contribution to the splort are said by some[5] to precede modern Blaseball, which first experienced birds following the Blasphemy.

A common superstition among Blaseball players and fans to avert bird weather is to wash one's hands while singing "happy birthday".

The Umpires announced following the Peanut Fraud that the Blaseball Gods would remember the affront done to them on that day. At the start of the following day of play, birds appeared in various ballparks across the Immaterial Plane.

Some Blaseball theologists have taken the birds' attitude of silent observation as a sign that the League was being watched ever more closely by the Gods, who may be seeking to judge the League and destroy it if its participants were found wanting. Others see the apparition of the birds as a blessing, Nature itself visiting the Immaterial Plane and participating in the cultural event that is Blaseball.
