Bird moves towards frog before the game is started

The bird moves to my frog before the game starts but it doesn't eat the frog. I get this error in the console:

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable target of BirdMovement has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the target variable of the BirdMovement script in the inspector. UnityEngine.Transform.get_position () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineTransformBindings.gen.cs:20) BirdMovement.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/BirdMovement.cs:21)

In the inspector window for bird, the bird movement target variable has "Player (Transform)."

This bird behavior is called "pre-game intimidation." It's common amongst competitors and rivals. Birds will be birds. (Just kidding.)

For some reason it creates two objects on the bird, take a look on the Unity there. So remove one, and then draw the bird again to the Game Manager Bird Movement.
