Bird Watching!
Bird Watching will be around until Spring.
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.

the Centropolis pigeon spawned, but it gave me an error when I clicked on it, and didn't show up in my inventory. Today. (so not a conflict with Survival flowers...)

I had the error and lost out on at least 6 of the Veta Plovers. Then it finally worked. I tried the toggling trick and I think it might have helped.

@Rathoren Thank you. :) I did know that, but the silly thing was 3 million sP when I first started. (I think it was down to around 800K last time I checked on it). I also did have an offer from someone to lend me one, which I VERY much appreciated, however, being an extremely stubborn overly Aries XD, I decided to give it one more go on my own. And now I do have it for in my Minion Zoo, since that was actually my idea (the Zoo) that I kept begging for many moons ago when I was still on Staff. :)

@telemetry Well I'll be DARNED! After like... a week and a half of total FRUSTRATION, the combination of those two tips actually WORKED! :) And in less than fifteen minutes total too! I had my doubts after getting that error on the first two that I refreshed on up, but it actually DID let me pick up the third one! THANK YOU SO MUCH! *dances* :)

tip 2: no point clicking around the map. just go to the index of whatever area (like if you're looking for the shadowglen dove, just go to shadowglen) and reload until you see it. it's a lot quicker

i was a little reluctant to say anything in case someone had already said it, but i had the same issue, *specifically* with a lot of the location-based birds for some reason. HOWEVER if you just keep reloading the page they will eventually show up again, and after a few tries you'll probably be able to collect it. the most i've ever gotten that error consecutively is twice, and it usually works on the third try-- at least in my experience. go straight to the associated location to find the bird and just reload until it lets you collect it. tip: ctrl+r is reload on most browsers

Lights_Reflection
Ahh no, I've found the shadowglen dove twice but i got that darn buggy message of, "you can't pick this item up right now." Both times! I wish the bird watching request would reset so i could try for a different bird that isn't bugged but I'm guessing that isn't an option? I'm stuck on this bird otherwise and it's not fun having to buy them when i can find the birds around the site. I'll keep trying i guess :/

I love this but the location-specific ones are so frustrating. They seem to take forever to show up and I've had way more errors than usual. Unless I wanna click around an area for hours at a time it takes me days to find location-specific ones ):

Oh my GOSH! The silly thing FINALLY just NOW turned up, after DAYS of tortured searching and, of course, I got the dread "you can't pick up this item" message! It's a good thing that I have an AMAZING sense of humor! XD

I, too, am having the issue where I can't pick up a bird from a location. Had the Centropolis pigeon show up, clicked, got a popup that said "oh no! You can't pick up this item" or something along those lines. Looks like this may be a site-wide issue with location specific birds if I'm understanding correctly?

I refreshed and refreshed and never seen a Omen Islands Gannet I'm done with bird watching it's not fun if the bird dont show up I will just buy the birds I lack yet

I am supposed to find a "Shadowglen Dove". I have been wandering all over Shadowglen for HOURS for three or four days now and it has yet to turn up! I did consider just buying one, but they are almost 3 million sP! So others must be having similar difficulties, I assume? And it doesn't seem that you can just change birds/request a different bird either.

I did an account search, and found I already had the bird it kept telling me I couldn't have. lol Not sure if that would help anyone else, but I just removed the one from my Zoo, and took it her for credit. ;)

I saw the sacred lands quail it is my bird of the day but when I clicked on it I got an error and no bird...will it come back

I can't get the Sacred Lands Quail. I've been trying for a couple days. It keeps giving me a long drop box but won't give me the bird when I click on it. How can I move on to another bird since I can't get this one?

So the area birds are glitched? I've been trying to find a Darkside Kite and when I found it I got an error message and it's just been gone ever since, but it seems everyone is having the same problem right now. C'est la vie! I'll await the bug fix.

I'm on day 2 of looking for a Centropolis Pigeon, and I finally gave up and bought one. Unlike the other birds I found previous days, the pigeon never showed up: not in Centropolis, and not anywhere else either.

Hi @Claire, have you started the bird quest on the Bird Watching page? I think you only get one bird per day, and they show up only after clicking the button to start the quest. Sometimes they take a while to show up for me, but I haven't had one NOT appear eventually (if I remember to do the daily quest lol). I hope it works for you!

Claire
I've been playing for hours upon hours and I've not seen a bird... ever... not even once. I do most of my quests daily and spend time restocking and I have not once seen a bird. I didn't have this issue with morostide.

Echoing the error sentiment of "You cannot collect this item right now" on Safari. Big sad. :(

Those looking for location-based birds; I'm also experiencing these issues and have resorted to buying them off other players (some for awfully expensive prices, might I add) but, after I've shown the bird I put it back up for sale at a much more reasonable price than the other sellers. I could also drop the prices even further if need be.
If you're struggling to find the bugged birds, I recommend also doing this! It's only a bit of sP but, if we keep the bird prices low I think that'd be helpful for everyone. :)

Hello folks, we are working on this!
Previously generated birds can be shown to Rosemary, she doesn't keep them! So a previous copy out of your vault, or lent by a friend, is going to be a good way to resolve this while we troubleshoot.

I accepted the quest and have been looking for the Omen Islands Gannet for three days at least. I've checked all of the Omen Islands locations. Refreshing doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm also having the "You cannot collect this item right now" error, for Shadowglen Dove. I only have one Subeta tab open, I've done CTRL + F5, and have made several attempts, and no go. I'm on Chrome.
Is there any way to cancel these quests, because those of us dealing with the error are getting screwed out of catching any other birds until it's fixed.

Not sure. I use Google Chrome on my notebook. I've never tried to catch a bird on my phone. I can try it tomorrow.^-^

I had a similar problem. This works for me:
Having only one window/tab of Subeta open, when I'm collecting the bird. When I had open more tabs in my browser, it gave me error "Oh No! You can not collect this item right now" every time.

I dunno if this is me being dense or not, but my bird just doesn't seem to be showing up at all? I've been clicking around a lot and nothing. I'm fairly sure it's not a "specific location" bird (it's a Gilt Woodpecker).

@Sparrow I just tried again; same error message. So I guess I just lose out on my bird for today. @Amber Any idea what's up with these error messages? "Oh no! You can not collect this item right now." At first I had thought that perhaps I had too many items in my Inventory, as I had had some of my snowballs out to throw, however, I had Vaulted all of those and am still getting the error message even up to right now. Thanks! :)

Aaaa! I'm so glad you two mentioned that-- I saw an INTENSELY blue bird ONE TIME while hiking as a kid and I've never know what it was! Now I'm pretty sure it was an indigo bunting. Right color, right size, right time of year for my area. Thanks for solving one of my life's mysteries. ^_^

This will be my first bird watching! I love to watch them in real life. Pigeons have the best struts imo 😂❤️ I usually find those in the form of mourning doves around here, but the pigeon strut is very real and very adorable.

@Siellby They used to do it in spring, but it interfered with floating items during Vesnali which was why it was skipped for the past 2 years or so, before they decided to move it to winter when there aren't any floating items (since the snow fairies don't float anymore).

That's so funny. I started the bird watching quest, and as soon as I refreshed on Rosemary's page, it was there. That's great.

ah, i also got an error trying to get the bird...i guess we go back to refreshing the page :(
does this only happen with region-specific birds because i didnt experience this yesterday

You can access quests from QUESTS
To make access to quests easier there's a widget you can add to your sidebar, which you can access by going to Personal>Dashboard>Widgets and selecting the Quests widget. It'll give you direct links to the quests as well as let you know which ones you have or haven't done.
Access to the bird watching quest is here BIRDWATCHING
Once you've accepted her quest the bird will appear at random around the site, unless they have a specific location name in their description in which case you'll have to go to that location. You will only be able to find one bird a day. Once you've found the bird, click on it and it'll be added to your inventory. Then just go back to Rosemary to complete the quest.

How do you access "Quests"?
and how do you access the "Bird Watching" quest and to "accept the quest", so that the birds comes up?

very excited for this as another bird lover, but i'm also getting an error; i've tried three times to grab a Shadowglen Dove, but all three times times the popup has worked strangely (it's loading the entire page within the popup, which may be counting as "refreshing" the page and causing the error) and given me a message that just says "Oh No! You can not collect this item right now." it also says i didn't find the bird on trying to return. hopefully everything smooths out soon, 'm really looking forward to being able to participate!

I always find bird watching impossible. I swear I never see any!! If you miss the bird and navigate away... will you get another chance or is it gone forever

I love ♡.
This is my first Bird Watching. I'm nor sure, how it should work. I tried to click on the bird and it said: Oh No! You can not collect this item right now.

I believe most of the birds can be found anywhere on the map, except for some of them that have a land name in their name. Those can only be found in the specific land it says they're from. They appear as floating items, so you may have to refresh a bit before you see it pop up.

Is there such thing as a guide somewhere, like with a link to where you can find each bird of the day?
