# `bird platform status`

## Usage

```bash
bird platform status
```

## Description

Reads the public status bird.com/status shows: the overall indicator (none, minor, major or critical), every component not operational, open incidents and scheduled maintenance. It needs no sign-in and reports Bird's services, not your workspace's messages.

## Examples

```bash
# Is Bird having an incident right now?
bird platform status | jq -r '.description'
```
