Bird house trapping

Bird house trapping is a Hunter technique that is used to catch birds. With this technique the player sets up bird houses on Fossil Island and fills them with seeds. The player then has to wait thirty minutes for the bird houses to passively fill with birds. Bird house trapping is an excellent way to passively train Hunter with very few requirements.

Requirements

• Highest level log of the corresponding Bird house to wish to plant. See table below for details.
• Minimum 5+ Hunter for the lowest level Bird house.
• Minimum 5+ Crafting for the lowest level Bird house.
• 5 Herb seeds per bird house OR 10 Hop seeds per bird house.

Catching Birds

Begin with a similar inventory to the sample image using the highest level logs you can.

• Redwood logs can be purchased from players or cut down from Redwood Trees requiring 90+.
• Clockworks can be purchased by Ayleth Beaststalker in the Ironman hub @ ;;ironman in-game.
• Both herb seeds or hop seeds can be used to bait the birds into the birdhouses. These can also be purchased in the Ironman hub @ ;;ironman in-game but this time speak to Head Farmer Jones.

Next, create your birdhouses by using the clockworks on the logs.

After creating your birdhouses, utilize the Teleport Nexus and search "House on the Hill".

After teleporting to the House on the Hill, run north to the Magic Mushtree. After clicking on it, notice the 4 options. Verdant Valley, Sticky Swamp, and Mushroom Meadow are the 3 locations we will be placing the 4 birdhouses. First, select Verdant Valley.

In Verdant Valley, there are two possible traps that you can place highlighted with red boxes on the image below. With the correct items in inventory, all you have to do is click the tile, then click the birdhouse.

Player placing a bird house and adding seeds.

After placing your bird houses and feeding the traps, return to the tree and select the Sticky Swamp option.

In the Sticky Swamp, the birdhouse is directly north of the Mushroom Mushtree. Once again, place your Bird house and feed the trap.

After placing your bird house and feeding the trap, return to the tree and select the Mushroom Meadow option.

This trap is located about 10 tiles north of the Mushtree.

Rewards

After placing your bird house and feeding the trap, return to all the Bird houses in 30 minutes to claim your XP.
