Birdie learns about tumors on Alaskan Bush People
Birdie had it rough on Alaskan Bush People this week. She was still struggling with the death of Billy Brown from a year ago. Out of all the Brown kids, it was Birdie that had the most trouble moving on. She said on the episode she had no idea who or what she was supposed to be. Bird also said that her brothers were having children and starting their own families. However, Bird felt lost.
When she found a journal Billy wrote for his family, she secretly hoped for a personal letter from her dad to her, but never found one. However, her mother Ami wrote a letter to her from her and Billy, but had one stipulation. She knew that Birdie wanted to go back to Alaska to find herself, and she told her to wait until she was back to open it.
She then told her daughter that Noah and his wife was headed to Alaska to find a new home there and asked her to go with them. Rain agreed to go with her sister, but then Birdie admitted she had been in pain for a long time but never told anyone. She had refused to go to a doctor and finally had no choice. Birdie had two tumors and while the doctors removed them, they could return with cancer if she doesn’t have a full hysterectomy.
Fans rally around Birdie during medical emergency

One person wrote that they “really hope Bird is able to make a good decision and it’s the correct one for her health.” They also mentioned all the heartbreak the family suffered through.
Another fan wrote, “if Birdie’s results are in a grey space now, there’s good odds they’ll tip in the wrong direction.” They then prayed that in 30 years, they hope Birdie is still around and happy.
A third fan said they have always had a “soft spot” for Birdie, calling her “a beautiful spirit without a mean bone in her body.” They also mentioned that they hoped doctors could save her eggs, so maybe someone else could carry a baby for her in the future. It is clear Alaskan Bush People fans are there to offer emotional support to Birdie in her time of need.
