LETS WATCH SOME BIRDS

August 8, 2025 10:24 pm

Get a little peace and quiet from battling turnips and buying various food truck foods with a little bird watching with Rosemary.

Notes: After accepting the Bird Watching "Quest", you will have to find your daily bird somewhere around the site. They will float on the page like pumpkins during Morostide or flowers during Vesnali. Just like these, you want to click them in your most current window! If you have multiple windows open to the site and happen to find the bird in an older window, it won't work. Bird watching will be around until the end of August.

AFAICT that is not the case; the quest does not roll over at midnight. I've now been stuck on the Arctic Frost Ptarmigan for three days.

Just now I sat down and visited all the Arctic Frost locations, then refreshed in Arctic Frost 1000 times (yes, literally, I counted), with customCSS to lock and prominently highlight floating items, and still did not see it. Are some birds really supposed to be that rare?

(I don't think I missed it, and if birds are "like pumpkins during Morostide or flowers during Vesnali", I presume missing it wouldn't have locked me out anyway—those floating items do work in older windows; they only stop working if there's a newer window with another floating item, and if that's a concern then it must be possible for birds to pop up more than once.)

Can anyone confirm that they've seen a regional bird this year?

They just appear anywhere on the site UNLESS they have a specific location in the bird's name, in which cast it should be found somewhere by clicking around in that specific location

We didn't get birds last year. I believe I remember when we did get them that if you don't turn in the correct bird it resets at Subeta midnight & you can start the quest again, probably getting a different bird to find. Good luck.

Is there a where to find bird guide anywhere?

August 9, 2025, 10:13 pm by

yup, well...prices do tend to fluctuate. But it was 25k when I posted. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not anymore, it isn't =\ Up to 50K now. I'm wondering if other people are having trouble finding the Omen Islands Gannet too. I've been refreshing at Omen Islands, Port Plunder, various places on the Explore map, all without success. And I've got code that locks pop-up items to the upper left corner of the page, so I'm fairly sure I haven't missed it.

But it's possible =| So, while I'm thinking about it: If I did miss the bird completely, am I just out of luck and have to buy the bird to complete the quest and try again? Or will the quest reset itself after a time? Or will the bird possibly pop up again somewhere else?

I understand how the quest is supposed to work, just not sure what happens when it doesn't work, if that makes any sense XD

Thank you =) I thought this was new because seems I'd remember, but perhaps it was just gone for a bit. In any case, I think this is really neat, I love birds, and nature in general =)

thank you for bringing this back it has been driving me insane that i didnt finish the achievement last time

also this is just one of my favorite features bc i love birds

I'm not 100% certain, unfortunately, but my assumption would be that that achievement is more based on the turn in than the actual find of the floating item, so it SHOULD still count toward it. I have the achievement already, and I recall having to buy a bird in the past because I just couldn't find it for whatever reason, so I think it does count.

I've found 2 new ones already. Some of the bird names, like omen islands, don't tell you exactly where to find them but it gives a hint that you probably have a higher chance of finding it in that area. Good luck.

it says throughout the site i don't think it means a specific area

"A well a don't you know about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word! A well a bird, bird, b-bird's the word!"

IT'S BIRD TIME.

August 9, 2025, 2:58 am by

Thanks. Have any idea if buying and turning it in counts toward the 'A World Of Birds' achievement or not?

It shouldn't be time based or anything like that.

It is only 25k, so worst case scenario, if you aren't able to find it, you can always buy one and hit the "i found it" button off of that, to at least get to move on to the next bird tomorrow.
