Black Bird FAQs
Q: What does Black Bird do?
Its passive, usually called Dark Chirp, makes pets hatched from eggs start with extra age instead of age 0.
The bonus age is a small range (roughly around +1 up to a few extra age levels, with high rolls reaching much higher in special cases), letting you skip early leveling.
Q: How do you get Black Bird?
You hatch Black Bird from the event Bird Egg, which you earn by feeding the Hungry Birds that fly in the middle of the map.
It has one of the highest hatch chances among Bird Egg pets (around the mid‑40% range from Bird Eggs and similar from Premium Bird Eggs).
Q: When should you use Black Bird?
Use it when you are hatching lots of eggs and want to push pets quickly toward age‑based mutations and achievements.
It stacks with other Black Birds, so running several at once helps mass‑hatching and late‑game progression much faster.
