The Wildlife Journal

Every bird and wild animal has a page in your journal:

• Record one: look at it through a spyglass and hold steady for half a second. Picking up a bird records it too.
• Read it: /birds opens your journal as a book. Each entry has a short description, when you first saw it and how many times you've seen it. Entries you haven't found yet show a hint about where to look.

Your own shoulder and carrier pigeons don't count. Find wild ones!

Rare sightings

Some entries are rare:

• the white pigeons, the wise old pigeon and the battle-scarred pigeon;
• owls;
• white geese;
• great white sharks;
• emperor, king, African and Humboldt penguins;
• red squirrels;
• red deer stags;
• magpies.

They have their own Rare sightings page in /birds, which shows:

• which rare ones you've found;
• who on the server spotted each one first.

Be the first to spot one and the whole server hears about it: "✦ Ranger is the first on the server to spot a Wise Old Pigeon!"

Completing the journal is announced to the server too. Staff may also give rewards for particular sightings or for completing the journal.

Bird Seed

Craft Bird Seed from one each of wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, melon seeds and pumpkin seeds (any arrangement). One craft makes 4.

• Throw it for the pigeons in a big town: it draws pigeons from much further away, and a bigger flock flies in.
• Use it as a training treat for your own pigeon: it's worth twice as much as ordinary seeds (see Pigeon keeping).
• Anywhere else it works like ordinary seeds.
