Five Bird Egg pets arrived with the Hungry Birds update on January 17, 2026!
During the new Hungry Birds event, you submit crops or food into the nest and wait for birds to swoop down and eat, spitting out random gifts: a watering can, a Basic Sprinkler, and a limited-time event egg, Bird Egg.
- The Bird Egg is an event-limited egg that can only be earned from the nest during Hungry Birds or bought in the shop for Robux.
- It takes 20 minutes to hatch a Bird Egg in your garden.
- When the hatch time is over, you will have chances to obtain 5 new bird pets.

All Bird Egg Pets
The Bird Egg gives access to five bird-themed pets with very different roles, from farming boosts to rapid egg hatching. While rarities vary from Common to Prismatic, even the lower-rarity options offer helpful passives if you are actively grinding eggs and seeds.
| Black Bird | Cuckoo | Brown Owl | Gold Finch | Birb |
 |  |  |  |  |
| Common (44.9%) | Legendary (30%) | Mythical (20%) | Prismatic (5%) | Prismatic (0.1%) |
| Dark Chirp: Eggs you hatch gain a bonus starting age, giving 1–3+ age for each egg-hatched pet. | Cuckoo Luck: When you trigger a Lucky Harvest, there is a small chance (around 2–6%) to get triple seeds. | Big Eyes: All active pets gain extra XP per second, scaling higher as Brown Owl ages. | Sparkle Squack: About every 50 minutes, moves to a nearby fruit and applies the Goldsparkle mutation. | Birbegg: Every 5 minutes, advances all eggs’ hatch timers by 150 seconds with a 30% chance to boost this reduction by 2.5x. |
