Hi,  
I am making a game in python and I have a status bar and I need help with the bar going down. My sprite is a bird and when the bird is running I want it to gradually loose energy, and when the enemy catches it I want it to die. However I also want to place seeds in the area and when the bird touches / eats one of the seeds I want it to get an energy boost. There are images of my code below.

I am not very good at python so please help.  
Thanks 😊
