Bird Watching

Wren Windmere, a travelling ornithologist, has arrived to the land of Bushwhackia!

In this unique window of time, a vast variety of birds are gathered here together. Wren is hoping to observe and document every bird he can find, but he needs help from the whole community to do so.

Enriching Contributions

To attract these migratory birds to the event area, each individual Bush Whacker must find Bird Toys from bushes all across Bushwhackia!

Turn in these Bird Toys to Wren to earn Bird Watching Tokens! These tokens can be traded for your choice of bird pet!

And to further the effort, Wren's assistant, Piper, has a series of quests you can do to build up the temporary roosting spot in the event area.

Birds of a Feather

Every Bird Toy found increases your individual Bird Toy Points for this mini-event, but also earns points towards the collective goals for the community!

The more community progress, the more options of bird pets there are to choose from in Ye Rare Bird Aviary to trade your tokens for!

Each Bush Whacker may only trade for 1 bird pet during this mini-event. Work together to unlock the most options possible!



After selecting your bird pet, extra tokens can be exchanged for special satchels in the store.

Flock Together

You have until Wed April 29th to make your contributions to this limited-time community quest! Assuming you're all successful, you can pick up your reward from them any time before Friday May 1st at noon.

Post your comments, questions, and squawk here on the forum!

We had something really important to tell you today... something about the Commons? A quest? Forgetful towns folk? It'll come to us, we're sure of it.

A Puzzly Woods Portal

While digging an unusually deep fire pit for her campsite in the commons event area, camper Betty found a portal to the Puzzling Woods! Help Betty find some souvenirs to take home from her trip.

The Puzzling Woods

Beyond the portal lies the Puzzling Woods! Here, as you might guess, are puzzles to be solved! Three fields are spread around this strange area, each with a jigsaw puzzle to solve.

The first puzzle is available right away, with another puzzle unlocking 24 hours after the last. Talk to Betty to start quests to solve each puzzle.

Puzzle Monsters

Puzzle Monsters are strange creatures lurking within the puzzles of the old lands! Which three will emerge this time?

These silhouettes are not accurate. Don't bother trying to guess what they are!
We don't know what they look like, but rumor has it they are called: Skippy, Schnelly, and Cookie

A Classic Conundrum

Betty will pack up her campsite after the portal closes on Tuesday September 2nd, so don't be late!

A Visitor From the Far Far Ranch

The Far Far Ranch is far far away, but there's a visitor that's brought a piece of it to the Commons!

Bea's visiting from the Far Far Ranch and has brought three Bubble Buddies to see if they'll thrive in Bushwhackia.

Bubble Buddies

Bubble Buddies are cute bouncy critters that come in an array of looks and abilities! Let's see the three Bea's brought with her:



Buddies eat Bushy Carrots and output Blorts, which Bea will trade you for in her Ye Bouncy Buddy Boutique store. Watch the buddies get bigger and bigger as you feed them!

Buddies will also eat the more rare Spicy Tofu to output Blorts AND a resource unique to that buddy. Here are the buddies and their unique yields:

Griffin Buddy - Gold
Wolf Buddy - Gems
Zebra Buddy - Mana/Power
During Bea's visit, Bushy Carrots and Spicy Tofu can be found in bushes all over Bushwhackia.

Help feed their bouncy bodies, earn Blorts, and redeem prizes! The saying goes, 'Big Buddies have bottomless bellies!'

Instant Egg Incubation!

Bea's brought a machine that can instantly hatch a basic pet egg! You'll need to whack up a lot of fuel to get it working, via a challenging collection quest. Should you manage it quickly, you can even attempt it a couple more times at the cost of some Bush Bucks to repair the egg machine.

A Feeding Frenzy!

Bea and her buddies leave on Wednesday April 30th, so make the most of the opportunity while you can!

Discuss this mini-event on the forums!

As some of you may know, April 18th marks the day BW2 was first released.

Like the 11th anniversary, there was a small developer celebration in the Commons where the Theater currently stands. Get cake, buy items from past anniversary celebrations from Nick, and complete Georgia's quest to get 3 new developer gnomes.

The celebration ran from noon Pacific on Thursday April 17th to noon (PDT) on Saturday April 19th.

Lastly, we'd like to thank you for being such an amazing community.
