"Go, Go, Go, Said the Bird" is a short story by Sonya Dorman from Harlan Ellison's science fiction anthology Dangerous Visions.

The story begins as the female protagonist is being chased by unknown assailants. As she runs she reminisces about her life and the degrading living conditions of the people around her. It is revealed to the reader that the people have resorted to cannibalism. At the end of the story she is caught by her pursuers, who turn out to be her son and his wife, and eaten.
