Alaskan Bush People: How Bird’s Alaska Move Will Impact The Brown Family

Bird from Alaskan Bush People is getting ready to fly out of the nest after revealing that she will be returning to Alaska. The eldest daughter is struggling to process the death of her father, Billy Brown. Before he passed away, she shared her dream about returning to the wilds of the Alaskan bush, revealing that she was unhappy in Washington.

Bird has been chiefly known for her love of privacy. Unlike her siblings, she does not use social media to update fans about her current living situation. The Discovery Channel star is one of seven children born to Alaskan Bush People parents, Billy and Ami Brown. With five older brothers, Bird learned to be fiercely independent as she grew up. In fact, she became the best hunter in the Wolf Pack. She has no time to fool around, as she is currently trying to help her family rebuild North Store Ranch after the Palmer Wildfires. Bird’s love of animals (not to mention her sweet demeanor) has made her a fan favorite.

The newest season of Alaskan Bush People is now underway, and fans have learned that the Browns might be one family member short. Bird revealed that she was missing Alaska, saying she never felt whole after leaving Brown Town behind. During an emotional episode, Bird told cameras, as per Discovery Press at YouTube: “There’s so much to do, but I feel like it’s when you get heartbroken as a kid, you just want to curl up where you feel safe, and you want to go home. That’s kinda how I feel right now.” While Bird seemed excited about her new adventure, her older brother Joshua “Bam Bam” Brown was less than impressed. Check out the clip of Bird below:

As the second oldest child and the family’s resident control freak, Bam made it clear that he felt let down by his sister’s desire to go back to Alaska, as he felt she was skipping out on her duty to North Store Ranch. Brother Bear Brown and sister Rain Brown also decided to make the trek to their old home with Bird. Mother Ami shared her concern about her children traveling home in unpredictable Alaskan weather. Even Bird had her own reservations about leaving the homestead, saying Billy had not been feeling well.

Alaska will always be home to the Brown family, with Bird sharing an intense connection to the wilderness. The trip is meant to answer the hard questions about moving back for good. In Bird’s mind, she is thinking of Alaska as more of a long-term means to an end. In the end, the allure of the Alaskan air and mountains will likely be too much to resist. Billy’s parting words about the trip gave his daughter hope, as he said, “I think it’s gonna boost them up. I really do. I think it will give them what they need emotionally and all that inside.”
