Hay Day Pet Birds
Pet Birds are a delightful addition to your farm, bringing life, charm, and valuable rewards. Available from Level 20, these birds require a Birdhouse to thrive.
Unlike other pets, birds have unique behaviors and feeding mechanics, making them a fun and interactive part of your farming experience.
🏡 How to Get Pet Birds in Hay Day
Before you can own birds, you must buy a Birdhouse from the shop for 10,000 coins. This pink, cozy structure serves as their home, where they eat, sleep, and interact.
