The Bird was developed by Sensi Seeds as part of their Breeding Grounds project, in collaboration with Humboldt Seed Company. This strain draws from a rich lineage of classic and modern cannabis genetics, combining the narcotic effects of OG Kush, the vibrant profile of Humboldt Dream, and the aromatic complexity of Gelato #33 (often referred to as Larry Bird due to the NBA player’s jersey number).

Genetic Lineage

The Bird’s genetic makeup is a harmonious blend of indica and sativa traits:

• Humboldt Dream: Adds vibrant flavors and uplifting cerebral effects, derived from Blue Dream and Purple Panty Dropper.

• Gelato #33: Infuses sweet, creamy notes and a balanced high, enhancing the strain’s appeal.

This lineage results in a 70% indica / 30% sativa profile, offering a calming body high with a touch of mental stimulation. Genetic testing indicates THC levels of 19–28%, with minor CBD presence (0.01–5.99%), making it suitable for users seeking  therapeutic potential.

The Bird’s buds are visually captivating, showcasing dense, compact nugs with a vibrant mix of deep forest greens, purple hues, and lime accents.

Under close inspection, the trichomes are round and glandular, averaging 40–60 micrometers in diameter, signaling high resin content ideal for extracts. The buds feature pronounced pistils and calyxes, with broad, serrated leaves that contrast beautifully with the colorful flowers. This aesthetic appeal makes The Bird a favorite for Whoomph members who value both potency and presentation.
