Bird Feeder

Bird Feeder is a calm garden you look after through your window. There is a bird table with a dish of mealworms, a feeder pole with seeds, peanuts, suet and nectar, an apple stump, a bird bath, a nest box on the old tree, a hedge with fairy lights, a swing perch, a mirror and a wind chime. Drag the scoop to fill a feeder, pour the jug into the bath, scrub a feeder with the brush, tuck moss into the nest box, push the swing and ring the chime. Six soft rings on the window sill show what the garden needs: food, water, clean, shelter, fun and cosy. They drift slowly, and the worst it ever gets is an empty feeder with a hopeful robin waiting beside it, who cheers up the moment you fill it.

Cared for, the garden gets busy. Robins, blue tits, great tits, blackbirds, sparrows, goldfinches, chaffinches, wrens, nuthatches, a woodpecker, a magpie, a jay, a wood pigeon, starlings, dunnocks, bullfinches, long-tailed tits, greenfinches, siskins and a mallard at the bath each have a favourite food and a time of day, and they flutter in, hop, peck, bathe, squabble gently and fly off again. An in-game clock runs through dawn, day, dusk and starry nights, and the seasons turn: snow brings the bullfinch and a hunger for suet, summer brings fledglings begging to be fed. Every visitor fills in a sticker in the field guide, and when one becomes a regular you give it a name from letter tiles and it gets a friend star.

Care earns hearts, and hearts unlock new feeders, bath designs, nest boxes, flowers and window decorations: every reward is earned in the garden. Come back daily for a sticker, and after a while away all your friends arrive at once to say hello. Three quick mini-games add a little brain work with no way to lose, each keeping your high score: spot the bird among the branches, match a two-note song, and tap the bath splashes before they dry. The garden itself is endless and made to relax, with gentle chirps and a music box you can mute, and it is saved in your browser.
