Village in the Shade Bird Bath Guide

Bird Visits

What does the Bird Bath do?

It adds a bird-based seed source to the farm. Keep the wording probabilistic because a universal schedule and guaranteed quantity are not verified.

1. Complete Hunting Delivery

Unlock the building reward

Finish all four groups in the Hunting category. This is a Delivery milestone, not a single hunting license reward.

2. Build or place it

Use the construction system

The canonical record identifies Bird Bath as a Building reward. The exact post-unlock construction flow is not independently isolated.

3. Check for visitors

Collect possible seed drops

Small birds can visit and leave plant seeds. Current reliable sources do not establish an every-morning guarantee, fixed quantity or complete facility-only pool.

Collection note: There is also a Birdwatcher achievement for picking up 100 items dropped by wild birds. That achievement confirms the broader bird-drop system, not a specific Bird Bath drop rate.

Seed Drops

Which seeds can birds drop?

The available evidence supports a partial general Small Bird Drop list. It does not yet prove that every listed item belongs to the Bird Bath-only pool.

Potato SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Carrot SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Cucumber SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Garlic SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Wheat SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Hops SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Sugarcane SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Buckwheat SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Taro SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Spinach SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Rose SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Hibiscus SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Pansy SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Iris SeedGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence
Pear SaplingGeneral Small Bird Drop evidence

This list is intentionally labeled as general bird-drop evidence. A complete Bird Bath-specific reward pool, exact probabilities, visit timing and weather or season rules are not confirmed.

Use the Crops guide for seasons and crop data

Early-access example

Dahlia Seed may arrive early

Gamecap progression notes identify Dahlia Seed as a Bird Bath example that can appear before normal shop timing. The current crop dataset does not isolate a precise normal shop unlock record, so treat the timing as a documented possibility, not a guarantee.

Shop comparison

Bird Bath complements the General Store

The General Store remains the predictable route for its normal seed inventory. Bird drops are an additional source and should not be treated as a replacement for shop progression.

See shop schedules and inventory
Pear Sapling: it has a documented wild-bird source as well as a Sazanka shop route. That does not mean the shop is unlocked, or that the Bird Bath guarantees a Pear drop.

Construction

How to build the Bird Bath

The building record confirms its role and unlock source, but intentionally leaves unverified construction numbers blank.

Troubleshooting

Why is the Bird Bath not giving seeds?

Use the verified boundaries first, then avoid turning an unverified schedule into a bug diagnosis.

The Hunting Delivery category is not fully complete.
The Bird Bath reward has not been built or placed through the construction system.
A bird visit or drop is not guaranteed on a fixed daily schedule.
The item is a general Small Bird Drop record, not a confirmed Bird Bath-only reward.
You are expecting a fixed number of seeds or a published drop rate that the sources do not establish.
You are checking the Bird Bath for shop inventory rather than treating it as an additional seed source.

Hunting materials and licenses are separate systems. Start with the Hunting Delivery requirements, then use Hunting for the material source route.

FAQ

Bird Bath questions

How do I unlock the Bird Bath?

Complete all four groups in the Hunting Delivery category. The full category reward is the Bird Bath building.

What do I need for the Bird Bath?

You need Small Game Meat ×5, Small Animal Bone ×5, Rabbit Fur ×2, Weasel Fur ×2, Pheasant Decorative Feather ×2, Large Game Meat ×5, Large Animal Bone ×5, Boar Tusk ×1, Deer Antler ×1 and Bear Fur ×1.

What does the Bird Bath do?

Visiting small birds can leave plant seeds, giving your farm an additional seed source.

Can the Bird Bath give seeds before the shop sells them?

Some Small Bird Drop records are described as possible early sources. The exact Bird Bath-specific pool and shop comparison are not complete, so early access is possible rather than guaranteed.

Does the Bird Bath give seeds every day?

Reliable sources confirm seed drops from visiting birds, but do not establish a universal guaranteed daily schedule.

What seeds can birds drop?

The current general Small Bird Drop evidence includes Potato, Carrot, Cucumber, Garlic, Wheat, Hops, Sugarcane, Buckwheat, Taro, Spinach, Rose, Hibiscus, Pansy and Iris seeds. This is not a confirmed complete Bird Bath reward pool.

Can the Bird Bath drop Dahlia Seed?

Dahlia is reported as an early Bird Bath seed example, but the current crop dataset does not isolate a normal shop-unlock record that would prove the exact Year 2 Autumn comparison.

Is the Bird Bath unlocked by a Hunting License?

No. Its documented unlock is completion of the Hunting Delivery category, not simply buying one Hunting License.

How many Bird Baths can I build?

The current canonical building record does not verify a maximum count.

How much space does the Bird Bath need?

The current canonical building record does not verify a footprint.
