A Bird scooter is an electric scooter that is part of a micro-electric mobility fleet provided by Bird, a company that offers eco-friendly transportation options in hundreds of cities around the world. Bird scooters are designed to be an all-electric, carbon-free alternative to cars, and they are intended to help reduce traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas. To ride a Bird scooter, users must download the Bird app, create an account, and add a payment method. Once they have located a scooter, they can unlock it by scanning the QR code on the scooter with their phones camera. Bird scooters are dockless, meaning they do not need to be parked at a particular location or back where the ride started. However, users are encouraged to park their vehicles neatly in a designated parking area and keep access ways clear. Bird scooters are rounded up by Birds Chargers around sunset each evening to be charged overnight and are placed back outside at their "nests" by 7 each morning.
