How on earth does an opening like the falkbeer which puts two pawns in the center transpose into one of the most hyper modern openings
Any thoughts on the Bird's Opening?

As someone else astutely said in another one of the many Bird's Opening threads: "Bird's Opening is not great, but it is not horrible."
It allows black to equalize instantly, so it's not as good as 1.e4 or 1.d4 (or 1.Nf3). But it has not been refuted.
If someone plays From's Gambit against it (1.f4 e5), white should just accept the gambit, and make black prove they have compensation for the pawn. Don't transpose to the King's Gambit by replying 2.e4 since the King's Gambit is (IMO) easily frustrated by 2...d5 (Falkbeer Counter-Gambit).
Thanks for the information.

I was wondering about that too, but didn't want to say anything since I don't know much about the Modern Defense.

Yeah, you won't be able to show your face at the pub for a while
decent
The Bird's opening does open up your king, but this is fixable. really the only way to attack is Qh4+, and g3 just crushes all of black's hopes of attacking the kingside. you could also just castle queenside as fast as you can and you're king is fine.
yeah but most of the time the Falkbeer just transposes back into the Modern defense where white is pretty much equal if not better
