Consumers fear” there will be nothing left” on the great city after a big trend ring closed two more shops.
The network is one of Britain’s most properly loved quick- fashion retailers and is 140 years older.
The shutdown come after Birds collapsed into leadership in 2020 and was forced to close only over 200 of its 400 businesses.
The ring was rescued in April 2021 and was able to retain its remaining shops open, saving 2, 000 work.
But on Saturday it has closed two more businesses: Ashford in Kent and Merthyr Tydfil in Wales.
The Sun has contacted Birds for remark.

Consumers have taken to Facebook testimonials to heap praise on the “incredible” business with “lovely, pleasant team”.
They furthermore flocked to social media to promote their grief over the decision to close the page.
One Instagram user said:” Another city losing its stores.
” Merthyr on a Tuesday used to be bouncing with the business. Sad days.”

Another wrote:” There will be nothing left in Merthyr if this carries on.”
A second cried:” For a shame. Like Peacocks.”
Somewhere, Birds in Camborne, Cornwall, did shut on April 3.
Plus, it is also shuttering its tree in Boscombe, Bournemouth, on April 6 in a blast for visitors.
The merchant revealed information of the closing on its Facebook site which even showed a shutting down sign- up in the branch window.
Peacocks collapsed into administration in November 2020 and shut half of its then over 420 stores in a blow to the high street.
The fashion chain went bust after struggling for business amid the coronavirus pandemic and multiple lockdowns.
However, it has been slowly reappearing on the high street, building its portfolio back up to around 350 stores.
And in October last year, the chain revealed it had plans to open seven new stores across Wales, England and Scotland.
It did not confirm the exact opening dates for the new stores.
Some retailers have closed a few branches here and there for various reasons, like when a store lease has come to an end.
Other examples of one- off rather than widespread closures is if there are changes in the area, like a shopping centre closing, and in some cases a shop will close to relocate to another area.
Some chains have faced tougher conditions though, forcing them to shut dozens of stores, or all of them in the worst case.
What other changes are taking place on the high street?
The high street is almost unrecognisable compared to what it once was with some locals describing their town as more like a” ghost town.”
Shops, pubs and restaurants are all falling victim to the increasing cost of living, with high rents and bills making it impossible to survive.
Shoppers no longer have the cash to splash like they used to with many just managing to get by after paying for essentials.
Last year popular retailers such as Wilko fell into administration and vanished from the high street for good.
Fans were left devastated over the demise of the discounter, however, it does look like the retailer is making a comeback.
The Range snapped up the website and brand name last year and has since started to open up some new concept stores, much to the delight of fans.
Wilko stores have already opened in Plymouth, Exeter and Luton and opening dates of a further two locations have recently been revealed.
Stores are set to open in St Albans and Rotherham on Good Friday, March 29 at 9am.
Meanwhile, it is not such good news for Body Shop fans as the iconic beauty retailer recently fell into administration and revealed it would be closing almost half of its 198 stores.
Seven branches have already closed with immediate effect but administrators for the high street stalwart said it is looking to” secure the brand’s future” with the restructure.
Troubled fashion brand Superdry is also looking at various” cost- saving options” after reports it is considering a major restructuring.
