Circling Birdies | comment |
An animated character who has been stunned, usually by blunt head trauma, will display a "halo" of twittering birds or twinkling stars orbiting their head at or above eyebrow level. Sometimes it's just circles or whirls spinning around. This is a cartoon representation of "seeing stars." Upon recovery, the character will usually brush them away with an impatient or brusque sweep of their hands. It is not uncommon for circling stars to sound like birds (cuckoo is very commonly added, although it's usually the cuckoo clock variation instead of the realistic version), even if it makes no sense. Cartoon cats who see circling birdies sometimes swat at them as though they were real. Similarly, this trope often occurs in live-action instances with just the sound effects of birds. Occasionally, more idiosyncratic "satellites" will circle the character, usually related to either their personality or the task they were trying to accomplish when they were stunned. Unrelated to Circling Vultures, which foretell a rather worse fate than a mild concussion. May also go with Non Sequitur, *Thud*. Compare Concussions Get You High. Catching Some Z's is a similar visual effect for characters who went night-night the usual way. An example of Editorial Synaesthesia. |

Ellen's Game of Games: When a player hits their opponent's portrait during the Buckin' Blasters game, stars appear around the portrait's head and it switches back and forth between the standard portrait and a dazed expression by the player. The animated version of Ellen also sees circling stars in the demonstration video for the Dizzy Dash game, when she gets dizzied. | |

Nickelodeon's Roundhouse enjoyed playing with this trope. While injured actors usually only heard the bird sound effect, in the episode Disaster, a cast member spun a mobile of stars around Ivan Dudynsky's head after a fall, and a castmate remarks that she can tell he's injured because of the tweeting birdies. In another episode, Dudysky is clonked with an anvil and says that he sees "stars," as a castmate spins a mobile with cutouts of Cher, Whoopi Goldberg and other Hollywod big names around his head. | |

The direct-to-DVD sequel of The Little Rascals uses bird sound effects frequently after comedic injuries. Alfalfa hears birds twice: once after crashing into a car, and once after getting a pounding during a wrestling match. Waldo hears birds after getting socked by a spring-loaded boxing glove, and his father hears them after being whacked by a stray golf club. Stymie hears birds after the gang's homemade streetcar crashes. | |

In a fifth season episode of The Cosby Show, Theo's friend Mitchell (Don Reed) invokes this trope while doing an extended impression of a kung-fu movie, as seen here. After feigning taking a few hits, Mitchell makes the sound effect of birds while moving his hand around his head. The bit was actually taken from a stand-up routine Reed was doing at the time. | |

The Lamput episode "Alien" does a variation on this trope. Lamput, Slim Doc, and Fat Doc accidentally invade an alien's spaceship; at one point, the alien accidentally destroys the ship's control panel trying to shoot the three unwanted guests, sending the ship flying up into space and causing it to bounce off of several planets. All of the planets get rings of circling stars around them after being hit... except for Saturn, which already had a ring. | |

In episode 7 of Kotoura-san, this happens to Hiyori, after she bangs her head against the wall a few times to get rid of thoughts about Manabe and Haruka she doesn't want to have.note She has a crush with Manabe, but became the Hopeless Suitor and had a case of I Want My Beloved to Be Happy at this point. At that scene, she was reminded Manabe is her crush. | |

In episode 4 of Himouto Umaruchan, at the final segment of the episode, Umaru enters a fighting tournament under the persona of U.M.R., and it comes to the finals with Sylphynford being her final opponent, when Umaru notices that Sylphynford somehow saw through her 5-combo opening (and the fact that Sylphynford is proving to be a tough opponent) and gets determined to win after noticing that her brother is watching. However, Sylphynford claims that throwing the match is not a smart idea, but upon asking on what is so interesting and noticing that Alex is watching as well, Sylphynford is left stunned with birds flying around her head. Only when she finally realizes that her reaction is being watched does she run out in embarrassment, leaving Umaru the winner of the tournament by default. | |

In one arc of the manga Oh My Goddess!, and its second anime adaptation, Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy, there's a scene where Urd, who has been split into her demon and goddess halves, spins the two "round-and-round" so Keiichi, Belldandy, and Skuld can't tell which Urd is which, resulting in the Trope. Happened earlier than that in the TV series, in Urd's debut episode. When Keiichi gets medicine for Belldandy, he gets a bonus "instructional video" from the pharmacist (Urd in disguise). When Urd leans in for a kiss, an intrigued Keiichi follows suit, and Urd somehow accidentally knees him in the chin, resulting in the Trope for Keiichi. |

RWBY: In the "Yellow" trailer, when Yang knocks Junior across the room with a punch, he has hearts circling his head. In the episode "Players and Pieces" when Jaune collides with Ruby, knocking her against a tree. However, wolves are used instead of birds (complete with barking sounds). RWBY Chibi eventually used actual birds. Crows, to be precise, as it was the effect of Qrow punching Cardin silly. |

Used in the 2011 Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In the "Grand Old Ivy" number, Finch (played first by Daniel Radcliffe and later by Darren Criss and Nick Jonas) is playing an imaginary football game and runs into a rather large player, which sends him flying in slow motion as bird sound effects play. | |

Problem Child: In the first "Problem Child," after a disastrous camping trip which ended with the buffoonish Roy getting a Frying Pan of Doom to the head, Junior gleefully makes a drawing of the incident in which he adds circling birdies around Roy's head. Little Ben admonishes him: "You know in real life, people dont get birdies on their head when they get knocked out. They get concussions, like Roy did." In the made-for-TV "Problem Child 3: Junior in Love," Little Ben (played by William Katt, replacing John Ritter) hears birds after he is punched out by his father while sparring. Junior himself experiences this stars version of this trope in the film's animated spin-off. |

Happens to Dean twice in the Supernatural episode "Hunter Heroici." The plot centered around a comatose retirement home resident whose dreams of a cartoon world affected the reality around him. Dean first decides to test the theory by whacking himself on the head with a book, leaving him dazed and hearing tweeting birds. Later in the episode, the villain hits Dean with a frying pan several times, and he hears cuckoos. Additionally, in the episode "The Monster at the End of This Book," a meta-episode in which fanfaction is becoming reality, Dean experiences the stars variant in a somewhat lampshaded fashion. The fanfiction had a point that said "Dean saw stars." This became reality when Dean, having been hit by a car, comes to seeing stars before his eyes. He remarks on them, then it comes into focus revealing the stars actually are a pair of dangly star earrings worn by a lady helping him. | |

In an episode of Abby's Flying Fairy School, Gonnigan gets this as shown here when he has a great fall to the floor with a CRASH! However, he recovers from the trauma, wobbling around the room with the dizzy birds and dizzy wobbling trombone variant, complete with him passing out on the floor with a big *thud*. His mind also questions this. | |

Discworld: In the novel Moving Pictures, one of the minor side effects that the motion picture industry has on the Disc's flexible reality level is that tweeting birds appear over the head of a wizard with concussion. In The Science of Discworld, Ridcully mentions a wizard who "died of planets" (which presumably orbited his head). |

Saban Entertainment's live-action shows in the 90s frequently used bird sound effects to indicate head injuries, particularly on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. The comedy relief characters — primarily Bulk and Skull, and later Spike — were the chief recipients, although they occasionally were used with villains or even occasionally the heroes. Saban's Beetleborgs took it a step further and often added animated stars after head injuries, usually to Flabber, although one of the heroes, Roland, also saw stars a few times. In Power Rangers Ninja Steel, Victor and Monty hear birds when they get clonked by a rock. Adam (Johnny Yong Bosch) hears birds after taking a spill during an outtakes montage in Power Rangers Turbo. |

In Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, this is a frequent trope, yet it is always just the sound of chirping birds. Characters who have had it used on them include Xena (in The Furies), Gabrielle (in The King of Assassins), Eris (in Kindred Spirits), Philemon (in Warrior... Princess), Amarice (in Animal Attraction), Dr. Polly (in Send in the Clones), and Joxer (in nearly every episode he's in) The spin-off Young Hercules also used the sound. Hephaestus (Jason Hoyte) hears birds after being tossed during a fight, for example. Buterus (Paul Norell) hears them after becoming a victim of The Door Slams You. Antos (Daniel Gillies) hears birds after being spun around by Hercules. Strife (Joel Tobeck) hears them after being zapped into a post by Ares. |

This trope occurs frequently in Galaxy Angel. During one episode in the second season, Mint tumbles into a tree and sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star while stars and birds circle above her head before she loses consciousness. In another episode in a later season, Milfuelle tries performing one of her "famous" backflips and ends up falling backwards, causing her to spend the rest of the episode babbling on about the pretty stars she's seeing. |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Roger sees Circling Birdies after getting hit by a refrigerator while making a cartoon, but the director gets mad at him for not following the script: "It says 'Rabbit gets clonked, rabbit sees stars'. Not birds, stars!" Roger proceeds to repeatedly bash himself in the head, resulting in a whole series of revolving visions of everything but stars. Later in the film, after Eddie goes to Toontown, he bumps his head getting out of his car and sees birdies (hatching from eggs and flying around his head), and shoos them away in disgust, giving one of them its own circle of something in the process. Roger would eventually see stars later on, after — literally — getting a ton of bricks dropped on him. He regards their presence with, "Look, stars! Ready when you are, Raoul!" |

The Order of the Stick Circling Stars are not uncommon early on. Lien threatens to hit Qarr the imp so hard he would see demonic circling birdies. In "She Didn't Miss", a lizardfolk bounty hunter named Gannji gets three circling pterosaurs after getting hit by a power word: stun from Vaarsuvius. In "Conditional Diagnosis", Elan, trying to work out if Roy has been stunned, staggered, dazed, or dazzled, observes that "it's one of the swoopy-star conditions, not one of the swirly-eye ones". |

In order to be accurate to the Pokémon games, Pokémon Adventures had this trope sometimes for confused Pokémon. Sometimes, confused Pokémon see birds flying around their head, with examples being one of Agatha's Gengar in the Yellow saga when it gets hit by Professor Oak's Kangaskhan's Dizzy Punch, and the scamming Bird Keeper's Hoothoot in the Gold/Silver saga when the confusion from the Swagger move Gold's Aipom (nicknamed Aibo) just used on Hoothoot kicks in during Gold's challenge to capture the Wooper, thus exposing the Bird Keeper's scam. In the Diamond and Pearl saga, the birds are replaced by circling Torchic running around the confused Pokémon's head, with examples including Roark's Craindos after becoming confused by a Water Pulse attack from Platinum's Piplup, and Diamond's Lickilicky (nicknamed Kit) after Sebastian's two Chinchou confuse him with Water Pulse after Sebastian stripped Kit from his Own Tempo with Weepinbell's Gastro Acid. In the Ruby/Sapphire quiz book, question 74 shows a ring of birds (the usual confusion status condition) at the top right corner, and the question asks (in Japanese) which Pokémon move does not cause the user to become confused, with the selections ranging from a Bellossom using Petal Dance, a Spinda using Thrash, a Zangoose using Fury Cutter, and Rayquaza using Outrage. Of course, the correct answer section reveals that the move Zangoose is using, Fury Cutter, doesn’t confuse the user, but rather increases in damage every time it lands. |

Smosh: A parody called "Pokémon In Real Life" starring Anthony. This part has a scene of Anthony noticing Jigglypuff hiding in a bush after being put to sleep by the song. Anthony then finds a brick and yells, "TAKE THIS!!!" Then, he throws the brick at said bush and it hits Jigglypuff in the head, and Jigglypuff staggers in a daze as it hears bird sound effects, and Anthony has the chance to engage battle with Jigglypuff. Anthony himself also experiences this trope in his aptly named video "Punch myself in the face so hard I see birds." In true cartoon fashion, Anthony tries to shoo away the birds circling his head after he's hit. |

Although stars flying out as the result of impact is frequently used in Doraemon (on both the manga and the anime) and not really noteworthy, in the manga chapter titled Glittering Night Sky, Doraemon has a gadget that can help you literally harvest them. Anytime there are stars flying out because of impact, whether from 2 objects colliding, or from Nobita when he's beaten up by Gian which produces larger stars, Doraemon can use a net to catch those stars. Doraemon and Nobita use those stars to create a beautiful starry sky that they don't get to see in the crowded city. | |

A literal case happens in Saphroneth's Harry Is a Dragon, and That's OK, when Fred and George pull a cracker that explodes with enough force to knock the two flat. The cracker produces a couple of canaries that circle over the twins' heads for a while before flying off. | |

Spanish-language Cartoon Network sitcom La CQ frequently adds animated birds around the students' heads when they fall, get hit by a ball or suffer any other wide range of slapstick mishaps. Jenny and Monche are the most frequent victims, though all of the main cast and much of the supporting cast experience it at one time or another. | |

Archie Comics: Archie Comics will sometimes have Archie dazed after a fight, and seeing, not just basic birds, but rather specific ones, such as Red-Winged Blackbird or Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, twittering and circling his head. One instance has Dilton fall off a skateboard while listening to headphones, commenting on how the track suddenly sounds like birds chirping. |

In a segment on the U.S. version of Big Brother 4, cuckoo sounds were played when Justin was bopped playfully by another contestant, as seen here. Many seasons later, on the U.S. version of "Big Brother 17," former contestant Caleb Reynolds experienced the trope when he came to host a challenge. Caleb broke a board with his head, and the next shot showed him looking dazed with animated stars around his head, as seen here. In "Big Brother 19," Mark heard cuckoo sounds effects after falling numerous times on a slippery surface during a competition, and Alex had animated stars around her head after sustaining numerous blows in a punch/slap/kick competition. |

In a video with SpongeBob in the real world, a kid who says that SpongeBob is not real sees SpongeBob, and runs into the school hall and runs straight into a wall and falls to the ground. He sees circling SpongeBobs circling his head, laughing. | |

Pokémon: The Series sometimes features characters seeing circling bird-like Pokémon such as Pidgey or Torchic. Often, it indicates when a Pokémon is succumbing to the effect of the Confusion status. There is also a low chance of circling stars. However, this does not always apply for Confusion at times: in one episode in Sun/Moon, Ash's Rowlet sees stars after being hit by a Relavation Dance from Lillie's butler's Oricorio, and then not long after, Rowlet sees birds after being knocked out due to impact with Mallow. During the first Battle Royal episode, Ash’s Litten, Kiawe’s Marowak and Sophocles’ Charjabug all see stars after Masked Royal’s Incineroar knocks them down in a single move. Not long after, Sophocles himself also sees stars after being hit in the face. In the third Battle Royal episode, Faba, while in the Masked Royal disguise, sees stars after Incineroar lands on top of him. Later, taking a page from the games' book, starting in episode 105 of the Sun and Moon series, during Ash’s Lycanroc VS Lycanroc battle with Gladion, Gladion’s Lycanroc sees birds after becoming confused due to using Outrage, and the trope would repeat every time Gladion’s Lycanroc becomes confused due to Outrage. In Journeys, the birds used for confusion (starting from episode 36 of Journeys when Ash’s Riolu was confused by a Trainer’s Octillery’s Psybeam) resemble the generic ducks from the older generation games, though this can change depending on the episode; for example, in episode 102 for Journeys, the confusion birds used for Articuno after it gets hit by Gary's Umbreon's Confuse Ray resemble the ones from the seventh and eighth generation games. In the original series, during a flashback of the Season 2 episode "In The Pink," Misty tries to teach Togepi to headbutt by gently headbutting a wooden post. Eventually she gets annoyed and manages to knock herself out, causing four pidgeys to fly over her head. Also, the Ditto at the beginning of Pikachu's Ghost Carnival, in which the Ditto gets circling stars when it got hit on the head by a Cubone while Ditto was disguised as a Cubone. In Big Meowth, Little Dreams, Meowth has circling Pikachus when he lands after being blasted off. |

The boys of Big Time Rush sometimes experience this trope. James, for example, hears tweeting birds after a thrown shoe clonks him on the head in one episode. Carlos hears birds in the premiere episode when a shopping cart he's riding in slams into a car. Logan and Camille both hear birds in another epsisode, when they run towards each other in slow motion and crash hard. Logan, Carlos and James all hear birds in another episode, after dizzying themselves while spinning on a bat and falling. In the episode "Big Times Rides," James hears birds after crashing his motorcycle through a wall, and Logan and Carlos both hear birds when their wagon crashes into a car. | |

The Warrior Cats graphic novels use Bloodless Carnage, in contrast to their violently heavy source. In A Clan in Need, Sorrelpaw is supposed to be severely injured, but she doesn't look remotely injured. Not even her fur is messed up. The only sign of her being injured is her lethargic behavior and the stars circling around her head. | |

Mahoro's circling birdies in Mahoromatic apparently are real, as they can be seen by other characters. Although they appear when she's asleep, and continually multiply until she wakes up, leading to some... awkward situations when Suguru decides to observe her when she's dozing off. That may have been SUGURU''s dream, as he was asleep at the time. At one point in the second season, Mahoro's birdies are seen to re-enter her head when she wakes up. Only five this time, though. Near the end of the manga, it is explained that Matthew (actually named "Arcadia Matthew Faye Ray") is an artificial intelligence, the birdies are part of her "sleep program", and that Mahoro was patterned after Matthew and/or the creator of Matthew, "Mahoro Matthew Faye Ray"). |

You Can't Do That on Television used a bird sound effect after a head injury on rare occasions. Alasdair, for one, hears tweeting birds after a hard fall from the ceiling in the Wildlife/Animals episode. In one of the later episodes, Christian hears birds after the coach hits him on the head with a baseball bat. Strangely, the show never used the sound during the caveman sketches, which usually centered on finding a way for the caveman dad to bash his kids in the head with a club. | |

In Uncle Buck when Chanice figures that Buck is listening to her and Tia's conversation she swings the door open, the first time he managed to avoid it but the second time sends him flying across the kitchen knocking him out, as he lies there unconscious he hears the sound of tweeting birds. | |

On the "Driving Lessons" episode of Life with Derek, Ralph (Shane Kippel) gets knocked over and hears bird sounds. He then remarks about seeing stars on the ceiling. | |

In the late 80s/early 90s, the Swedish Chef of The Muppets fame had his own breakfast cereal, Croonchy Stars. This commercial features the circling stars version of this gag while showing the Chef making a batch of Croonchy Stars in "the Muppet Test Kitchen". | |
