Birds that share your desktop
The aviary sits along the bottom of your screen, and you can zoom it with the scroll wheel or nudge it up and down when it starts covering the good stuff. Your birds do not stay put.
Some even arrive carrying a little bag of gold, which you click to collect. It is the only time a coworker hovering over your monitor counts as birdwatching.
Hatch, collect, and breed for profit
You buy eggs in six rarities, click them to hatch, lock the keepers, and sell the rest to fund more eggs. There are over 40 species, each with color variants including gold and rainbow versions, plus a codex that logs what you have found and a fun fact for each species.
Breeding two birds can produce new eggs, and placing decorations plus unlocking three areas boosts income for matching bird types, with the beach favoring sea birds. Hourly and daily quests pay out extra gold, and the economy scales fast once your perches fill up.
Good to know before you perch?
Can you move it out of the way while you work?
Yes. You can zoom the aviary in and out, shift it up or down, and let it sit quietly at the edge of the screen. The background music and sounds can be turned off, so it works as a silent desk companion during work or videos.
How do the different areas work?
There are three unlockable areas to house birds, each giving an income bonus to certain bird types. Matching birds to the right home pays better, though you can ignore the bonuses and just keep the birds you like looking at.
What do decorations actually do?
Decorations give your birds places to perch and raise the money your aviary earns. There are around 30 of them, and the selection is fairly small, so think of decorating as arranging a pleasant little scene rather than building a palace.
Is there anything to do besides hatching?
You get hourly and daily quests for extra gold, a codex to complete, and favorite and batch-sell buttons to manage a full aviary. Completion is fairly quick if you chase it, with the longer game being the hunt for gold and rainbow variants.
