Play as a birdwatcher and summon a variety of rare birds by imitating their melodic calls. Chirp, hoot, and screech into your microphone to attract your new feathered friends. Can you summon all 9?
- The birds respond to both the timing and pitch of your birdcalls, so make sure to mimic their sounds as closely as possible.
- The microphone symbol will light up when it detects that you started making sound. If you are making a birdcall but the symbol is not lit up, be quiet for half a second and then try again.
- If you get the message "Microphone not detected," make sure you have an audio input device connected and the game has permission to use your microphone.
- You can change your audio input from the default by specifying a number in config.txt. The list of audio devices for your system will be recorded in device_list.txt each time the game is launched.
