Today's the third day I've had this issue: my bird does not spawn, and I've been having to go to the minion zoo to remove one to show Rosemary.
Today it happened with Darkside Kite. Yesterday it was with Shadowglen Dove. The previous time with Veta Plover.
From the time I accept to help Rosemary to the time I'm done with dailies, I do at least 40-50 page views (sometimes more, depending on dailies)... bugs and the new birds spawned within the first 10 page views.
Is anyone else having this problem, or am I just jinxed?
Those birds all require you to rack up pageviews in the specific area of the site mentioned in the name, so you need to spend time looking around Darkside, Shadowglen and Veta for those birds. I also find that they take more pageviews in general to nab (my Veta Plover today probably took over 50 refreshes around Veta, drove me nuts!).
Yeah, I often forget to check the name of the bird I'm asked for and don't end up finding it if it's a regional bird. x) Good luck finding the rest!
