I'm making a replica of Flappy bird with pygame and when I test to see if the bird collides with the pipes, it always returns with a false positive. Why is this?

def collisionHandler():
    if bird.rect.colliderect(pipe.rect_top) == 1:
        print("Collision! Oh noes!")

where bird.rect is simply self.rect = self.surface.get_rect() and pipe.rect_top is a rect created in a function.

And what are the values for the rectangles? – XORcist Jan 04 '15 at 16:58
for the bird.rect, it' – Andrew Lalis Jan 04 '15 at 16:59
it's whatever the surface was, which shouldn't be a problem, but the pipe.rect_top is just a rect – Andrew Lalis Jan 04 '15 at 17:00
i did self.rect_top = pygame.Rect(0,0,40,100) – Andrew Lalis Jan 04 '15 at 17:01

Can you print out the exact values für bird.rect? – XORcist Jan 04 '15 at 17:05
For one, pygame.Rect.colliderect returns a boolean, not an integer. It should never be equal to 1 – David Reeve Jan 06 '15 at 13:10
Have you tried `if bird.rect.colliderect(pipe.rect_top) == True`? – Anthony Pham Jan 06 '15 at 22:56
