    This seems like a very popular opening, but there are many flaws in this opening, that Make this opening, not a well played opening. Your king will be exposed to early on in the game. This is a hypermordern opening (an opening in which instead of doing the old fashion way of control the center by occupying it , you attack it from the center. It does prevent 1... e5 so there are some advantages.

    I definitely would not recommend Bird Opening. Too risky for the white king to endure.

    jrmrbr, 1.f4 e6 2.Nf3 Qh4+ isnt checkmate because Black is just throwing away his queen after 3.Nxh4.

    Hardly checkmate, jrmrbr.

    White can either move the g pawn, or simple take the queen.

    1. f4 e6 2. g4 Qh4++ is checkmate, however, and is a trap to avoid in the Bird.

    secretbonus brings up a good point: One can always try pushing the d pawn and setting up a stonewall formation. If you enjoy this as black, it might be a very good idea. It gives the game a bit of a different character though; a certain amount of patience is required by both sides to play it well.
