Bird's Opening (or the Dutch Attack
The Bird's Opening is a chess opening that begins with the moves 1. f4.
 It is named after the English player Henry Edward Bird, who was a strong player in the 19th century and popularized this opening.

The Bird's Opening is not as popular as some other openings, but it can be a good choice for players who want to play aggressively and put pressure on Black's position from the very beginning of the game.

Black has a number of options for responding to 1.f4, including the King's Indian Defense with 1...g6, the Dutch Defense with 1...f5, and the Grunfeld Defense with 1...d5.
The Bird's Opening can lead to sharp, tactical positions, and is a good choice for players who enjoy attacking play and complex tactical scenarios.

Bird's is a standard flank opening. White's strategic ideas involve control of the e5-square, offering good attacking chances at the expense of slightly weakening their own king side.
