Alas, Flappy Bird was too beautiful for this world.
We must now say goodbye to our winged friend. Our insatiable need for Flappy Bird has killed the game for everyone else who wanted to bask in its glory. Now that it is no longer available for download, our sweet, simple mobile game is nothing but a memory.

YouTuber John Herman created this touching tribute to the Bird, aptly titled "Requiem for a Flap." The video features hauntingly beautiful music set to the famous Flappy Bird slowly and majestically flying -- as we must always remember him.
The lucky ones who still have Flappy Bird downloaded on their phones may still play the game in its original format. But will it ever be the same?
Dry your tears, Flappers. Flappy Bird may be gone, but he is not forgotten.
