  • Wonderful Game Design and Gorgeous Bird Illustrations: Fantastic design by Elizabeth Hargrave (Undergrove). Every element of the bird used on each card is tied to the theme and mechanisms of the cards: the type of nest and number of eggs that nest holds, the size of the birds and many of their abilities, the type of food that is needed to attract said bird, and where that bird will come to rest on your playmat. Beautifully illustrated by Natalia Rojas (Waddle Waddle), Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo (Finspan), and Beth Sobel (Calico) with a lovely realistic and naturalistic art style.
  • Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Most bird cards have an ability that benefits you during the game. Many of these abilities tie into the nature of the bird represented on the card. For example, the parasitic nature of the cowbirds is used in the game by not allowing eggs to be placed on it but rather giving you the ability to place eggs in other birds’ nests, just like these birds use the nests of other birds in real life. The northern mockingbird imitates another bird in your habitat. Some bird powers allow you to tuck cards underneath them, like a raptor eating another smaller bird.
