The Battle Of The Birds is a 4-week team competition where you have the chance to earn points for your team through consistency with your fitness and lifestyle habits. There are rewards (a year of bragging rights being one of them), camaraderie, and shenanigans like none other. It’s NOT a fitness competition where your workout score matters, and it’s not a nutrition challenge where you have a specific food chart to follow. It is many members' most beloved SP challenge because of the fun and accountability it creates for building long-term consistency, especially during the summer months when we might not have all of our ducks in a row.
Any current Street Parking member.
There are a few ways to earn your points: Workouts, Grams, Water, Walking, Challenge Tester, and Bonus Points. You do the task, you log and earn your points = you contribute to your team.
The team with the most points at the end wins the coveted Golden Peacock Champion Tee. Of course, improving (or proving) your consistency in your fitness and lifestyle habits while having fun with your team is a win for everyone who participates.
First time participants do NOT choose your own team. Fate decides. You are randomly sorted into a team AFTER you register, and that’s your team… for life. (Check out REGISTRATION DETAILS for more info.)
Why are there birds? When we divided the community into teams for the first Julian vs. Miranda Challenge in 2018, we knew it would be like boxers getting into a ring. So next thing you know the personas – and the bird mascots – came to life. As the community grew, so did the Challenge – and in 2021, the Patos emerged as a third team to take on the Palomas and the Gallos. Year after year we find there’s nothing like some mascots to help you stay consistent, build team pride, and feel like you are part of something great.
This is a team challenge, so every point you earn for your team is one more point toward victory and that Golden Peacock tee! YOUR JOB: Do what you can each day to earn points to contribute to your team and to your consistency.

But can I log this?
The POINT of this task is to get you off social media and give your body a chance to decompress. This shouldn't be your workout for the day, which is why it isn’t loggable in the app. There's no need to add weight and turn it into a "ruck” or try to sneak it in as a workout session. Just go for a walk. 😉 If you do decide to ruck, do that for your Workout point and do this walking point separately.
You’re spending four weeks working on fitness consistency, so why not see how you improve? And while you’re at it, you’ll earn points by completing the Challenge Tester workout two different times:
Week 1 = 1 point
Week 4 = 1 point
How to find the Challenge Tester Workout:
Fuel Points
Consume fruits and veggies and stay hydrated throughout the challenge to gain points for your team.
