In Bird Box, a mysterious creature evokes suicidal tendencies in people just by the sight of it. While it does not have a form or a shape, it makes you want to kill yourself. The only way to get away safe from the bird by not seeing it, for which people tie a blindfold. For people who have had sight all through their life, suddenly caused artificial blindness becomes difficult. Birds help humans in this scenario by chirping violently when the creatures approach, so people walk around with a minimum one bird in a box.
