MELBOURNE'S GRAFFITI BIRD
Pam the Bird is a huge, wonky black-outlined bird painted across Melbourne — rooftops, silos, bridges and walls nobody should be able to reach. The bird became a citywide symbol of Melbourne street art because of where it turns up: hundreds of metres up, on the icons everyone already knows.
This game is a love letter to that. Choose your Pam, paint it, fly the city and turn every crash into a piece of bird graffiti on a real Melbourne landmark.

Who is Pam the Bird?
Pam is a character, not a person — a wonky cartoon bird painted across Melbourne that has become a cult icon of the city's street-art scene. In Pam The Bird: The Game you take on the role yourself: fly the city, crash into landmarks and leave your own Pam behind.
What is the Pam The Bird game?
Pam The Bird: The Game is a free endless arcade game set over a stylised Melbourne. You choose Round Pam, Long Pam or Clock Pam, paint your own colourway, fly one-touch through the city, and every crash leaves a giant painted Pam on the landmark you hit.
What does Pam the Bird mean?
It's the name of the bird tag seen all over Melbourne. The style varies from piece to piece — sometimes long and thin, sometimes short and stout — and the game plays with that: Round Pam, Long Pam and the clock-bodied Clock Pam are all yours to paint and fly.

Play free in any browser at pamthebird.app on phone, tablet or desktop. It also installs to your home screen as an app and loads the newest published version when opened online.
Why is Pam the Bird famous in Melbourne?
Because of scale and placement. Pam turns up in spots nobody should be able to reach — the Flinders Street Station clock tower, the Nylex clock, silos, the Bolte Bridge, city rooftops — which made the bird a citywide talking point and a symbol of Melbourne street art culture.
What are the different versions of Pam?
Round Pam is the compact, blobby sticker-style bird. Long Pam is the stretched version with the same features: a long pointed beak, a ringed eye, a semicircle cap on the back, two three-toed feet and a three-feather tail. Clock Pam is the special edition — the whole bird is a working clock showing Melbourne time.
Is Pam The Bird free?
Yes. The whole game is free to play. You earn birdseed by flying and spend it on spray cans — nothing is required to keep playing.
How do I paint my own Pam?
Open the Paint screen, pick Round, Long or Clock Pam, then colour the body, head cap, wing, feet and beak from your unlocked cans. Your colourway is what gets sprayed on the city every time you crash.
Can I play Pam The Bird with friends?
Yes. Swap friend codes on the Mates screen and your mates' best pieces turn up around Melbourne in every run you fly, alongside the world's top pieces.
