Help needed with individual AI!

I'm trying to make a game with bird AI. But, the problem is, whenever the birds duplicate, they all follow the same variables. For instance, whenever I try to make switch directions, all of them switch to bird UID 0 instead of on their own. Also, whenever I try to program the bird to stop moving after a certain amount of time, they all stop with UID 0 as well.

I want each bird to be individual, and I don't know how to do it. Any help/ideas?

If you are using Global Variables, you should switch them to Instance Variables for each bird can control itself.

Yeah, I've made sure to use instance variables. I've even gone so far as to use local variables for everything, and even those fell through.
