Breeding Cockatiels In Your Cages for Coins




In Birdland, the name of the game is earning coins to buy bigger and better things and birds. To do this, you can work forever buying and selling Budgies, or you can find a better way. One of the easiest ways to build up a massive coin bank is by buying, breeding, and selling Cockatiels.

To start out, you will want to buy at least two Cockatiels, preferrably one white and one gray - but it doesn't matter which color you prefer. The gray ones will cost you 15,000 coins (yes sounds like a lot but the turnover is great) and the white ones will cost you 15 feathers. Just make sure that you have a male and a female so that you can breed them. Take care of them until they are grown.
When you start breeding, you want to make sure that you have plenty of room in your cage and breed them as often as you possibly can. Now, the good thing is that even though the white Cockatiels only sell for 6000 coins, when you breed them with the gray ones, they are now worth 13,000+ and when you breed the gray ones together, they are now worth 18,000+.

You will get all sorts of different color variations when you breed the white and gray together. Some of these include solid yellow, a mix of gray, white, and yellow, as well as some with turquoise spots on their faces. If you are breeding two gray ones together, you will always bank a profit of 3000+ coins. If you are breeding a white and a gray together, you can bank anywhere from a 2000 to an 8000+ profit, depending on the color variation. Plus, once you get to the point where you're breeding and selling the ones that you've already bred from (and didn't pay for), you will start making a 12,000-18,000+ profit per bird.
So, if you don't have Cockatiels in one of your cages that you're breeding and selling, make sure that you start doing so. By breeding and selling them, you'll find that your coins will quickly go up by leaps and bounds.

Fun New Birds In Birdland!

For those that may not have been playing Birdland lately, you are missing out on some fun new birds for your cages. Here are some of the cute new birds that you can get to liven up your cages!

Puffins - The Horned Puffin and Pink Puffin are new additions to Birdland that you can purchase
for 10 and 14 feathers. They sell for a very good amount of coins too, 6000 and 8000 (respectively), which means that purchasing these guys and breeding them will earn you some excellent coins. Plus, they are really cute, little squatty birds that will add a different look to any cage.

Flamingos - You'll find Blue and American flamingos that also can be bought with
feathers, 20 and 15 feathers. They sell for 7000 and 50000 (respectively), and make excellent additions to any of your cages. Now, you will have to buy one of the floor feeders for them, which you can unlock at level 25 or you can purchase with Facebook credits. Breeding these guys will earn you a ton of coins - especially if bred together.

Eclectus - There are also two new Eclectus, Pink and Red, which can be bought for
10 and 7 feathers each. The Pink Eclectus sell for 10,000 and the Red Eclectus sell for 7000 which means another massive boost to your cage coins if you breed them and sell them. And, they are very colorful additions to your cages as well!

Earning Coins With Normal Activities In Birdland

Want to earn more coins in Birdland so you can buy bigger and better birds, cages, and goodies? Of course you do, and we want to help you out. Here are some of the different things that you can do in Birdland so that you'll gain coins just from every day things:

1. Breeding birds: While breeding itself doesn't make you any coins, selling
the adult birds later will. For example, if you breed two love birds together and then let the baby grow to an adult, you can easily make over 1000 coins per bird you sell. The trick is to breed as often as you can and breed all of the different birds that you own. The different colors will help the sale proceeds as well.

2.Cleanliness is next to coin-ness: Each day, clean your cages then visit neighbors and clean theirs. Just cleaning your neighbor's cages can earn you a decent amount of coins each day, depending on how many neighbors you have!

3.Treasure chests: Make sure that you log in daily to get your treasure chest bonus and visit your friends to gather theirs too! This is an excellent way to make a lot of coins without doing anything at all.

4. Neighbors: You want to have as many neighbors as possible so that you can visit them and help out. When you get a help request, make sure that you accept it and that you make sure that you do whatever the pop up asked to you - such as loving their birds, feeding them, and so on. Also, you will want to do other things while you're there too!

5. Feeding: Feeding your birds will cost you coins, but yield experience. So, while you're at your neighbor's cages, feed their birds completely in all of their cages. This will earn you both experience and coins. Don't pass up any of their other cages, make sure you get them all.

Do these five things daily and you'll start to see your coins build up and up and up!

Tips For Playing The Kitchen Game In Birdland


When it comes to grabbing up more coins and experience, the kitchen game is always an excellent way to gain more of each. You can now go onto the mini game in the kitchen in Birdland and race to the finish line while dodging different kitchen items - such as pots, pans, ovens, and more. This is a superbly fun little mini game in Birdland, and one that you can easily use to gain more of what you need: coins and experience! Here are some great tips that you can use to help you play the mini game in Birdland better than ever:

1. Watch your energy: When you start out in the game, your bird gets 120 energy. As you go, you lose energy. The energy you have resets every hour, or you can gather up some in the game - they look like little beakers with a red lightning bolt on them. Or, you can buy 4 energy packs for 1 feather, which will give you 20 energy points. (You'll also find some feathers in the mini game too.)

2. Try to gather all the coins you see: Yes, some are really high and some are really low, but as you go through the game, you should easily be able to work the controls so that you can quickly make your bird go up and down to grab them all.

3. Watch out for falling objects: As you go through the mini game in Birdland, some of the objects hanging on the wall will fall and try to hit you. These are normally the utensils, pot holders, and plates. If they hit you, it will cost you some energy and can end your game quickly if you aren't careful.

4. Grab extras: There will sometimes be energy packs and feathers along your way in the kitchen game in Birdland. Make sure that you do whatever you can to get them. They will help you play longer, gather more coins, and gain more energy. So, don't pass them by.

Overall, the mini game in Birdland is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. And, when you get the hang of gathering up items to keep your energy filled up, you can easily play this little game a lot and keep your bird flying out of the kitchen constantly!

Leveling Tips For Birdland

When it comes to leveling up, it can seem like you are either missing out on something or that you aren't doing enough. But, there are actually some easy things that you can do when you play that will gain you a lot of experience points - and coins - that will help you level up faster. Here are some tips to help you level faster:

1. Neighbors: This is key to leveling for many reasons. Basically, the more neighbors you have, the faster you'll level. Why? Well, because there is so much that you can do in your friend's cages that will not cost you anything at all but will grant you experience.

2. Visit your neighbors: When you do, there are several things that you can do every 24 hours. Here are the things that you want to make sure that you do every day in all of your neighbor's cages:
Clean their cages - you'll get 1 xp when you clean their cages, and
you'll have to click about 3-5 times to get the experience point when you use the broom tool.
Feed: when you feed your neighbor's birds, you'll get 1 xp for each time that you fill it. Of course, you'll have to fill it several times, so you can easily earn a ton of experience points just by doing this in each cage that your neighbors own.
Love: love their birds just like you do your own. This alone will gain you more experience points than anything else, as it gives you 5 xp each time that you love one of their birds.

3. Help Messages: Make sure that you don't pass any of these by when they pop up. They will give you an automatic 3 xp plus some other goods, like coins, and you can usually perform an action that you just did in a neighbor's cage.

4. Buy items: When you purchase new items from the store, you'll gain experience points. So, don't pass up sprucing up your cages when you can.

5. Play the mini game: You can play the mini game several times throughout the day, so make sure that you do so you can gain both coins and experience points from doing so. Make sure that you check out our other posts here about the Kitchen game.

These five tips will help you a ton if you do them daily - or more, for those that will allow you. They will all help you gain more experience fast so that you can easily level up quickly in Birdland. You'll also want to check out our post on where to find experience points in Birdland.

Where To Gain Experience In BirdLand

Everyone knows that leveling up in Birdland is the name of the game. But, if you don't really understand how to level or where to get the best experience points, it can be extremely hard to level at all. To help you understand where the best experience points come from, here are the different things that you can do in your cage and neighbor's cages to help you level:

In Your Cages
Here are the things that you can do in your cage to level up by gaining experience and coins:

Love Your Bird - You'll gain the following for each bird in your
cages that you click "I love my bird":
+3 coins
+4 experience

You can see in the screen shot that when you "love" your bird, they will have little hearts floating around him or her. Also, you'll see the coins and experience that you gain float up from the bottom of your screen. Make sure that you keep all your birds happy at least once a day to gain a good amount of both coins and experience.

Breeding - You'll gain the following when you breed your birds together,
plus you'll be able to get money by selling birds that you breed:
+3 experience when birds breed
+4 when baby birds hatch

Fill Feed Dish In Your Cage - You'll gain the following for each bird dish that you fill up in your cage:
-30 coins
+1 experience

Fill Water Dish In Your Cage - You'll gain the following for each water dish that you fill up in your cage:
-15 coins
+1 experience

Cleaning Your Cages - You'll gain the following each time you completely clean your cage up:
+1 experience

Gaining Coins From Your Treasure Box - You'll gain the following each day you log in and click your treasure box:
+60 coins

You can also play the great game that is in Birdland to gain experience and coins, as well as feathers, but I'll tell you all about that in my next post.


In Your Neighbor's Cages
Cleaning Your Friend's Cages - You'll gain the following each time you completely clean your neighbor's cage up:
+1 experience

Gaining Coins From Your Friend's Treasure Box - Just like your own treasure box, you will gain coins from your friend's treasure boxes each day as well. Here's what you'll gain from their treasure boxes:
+15 coins
+1 experience

Filling Friend's Food Dishes - When you visit your neighbor's cages
and feed their birds, here is what you'll get from filling their feed dishes. You'll gain this each time you fill a dish:
+1 experience

Fill Friend's Water Dishes - Just like their food dishes, when you visit your neighbor's cages, you'll also be able to fill their water dishes. Each time you fill a water dish in a neighbor's cage, you'll get the following:
+1 experience

Love Friend's Bird - Just like loving your own birds, you can love your neighbor's birds as well. You simply click the bird, then click "I love ____" When you do, you'll recieve the following for every bird you love:
+3 coins
+4 experience

As you can see, it is an excellent idea to visit your neighbor's cages daily. Even if they only have 10 birds, you can gain 40 experience points and 30 coins. So, those friends that have several cages with 20+ birds can easily rack up the experience and coins for you and help you level up even faster.

Buying And Selling Birds In BirdLand

When it comes to your cage, you strive to have the coolest birds possible right? So, what do you do if you are short on coins and really want more birds? Well there are several ways that you can get the coins you need to buy more birds or even gain some free birds. Here are several tips on buying and selling birds to help you build up your cage with ease:

1. Buy cheap birds when you can - Start off with the cheap birds that the store

offers and when they get to an adult, you can sell them for a profit. Of course, cheaper birds won't sell for as much as higher priced birds. So, it's always a good idea to raise a few of the cheaper birds, breed them for more free birds, and then sell and buy more expensive birds. It won't take long before you have a pretty good amount of cash!

2. Breed your birds - When your birds turn into adults, breed them so that you can gain new baby birds and then you can sell the adults. This is an excellent way to gain new and unique birds for your cage without spending any cash at all. To breed your birds, simply click on one of them and then click "Breed". That bird and a bird of the opposite sex will fly down to the little hay on the bottom and cuddle for a bit. Then, a small egg will appear and you'll get a notification that they are expecting a baby bird. The cool thing is that when you breed birds, you don't always get the same color bird that you bred. So, breed together two different colored birds and you will get a unique baby bird that you cannot buy in the shop. Aside from getting unique colored birds, you'll be able to sell them for more money than a normal bird. Make sure that you've got plenty of room though, so that you'll have room for all of these babies!

3. Sell adult birds - You can not actually sell your birds until they are adults, so you will have to wait until they are adults before you can sell them. Just make sure that you breed them with several different colored birds before you do sell them so that you will get the most birds from your breeding and find some unique colored birds to sell and enjoy.

4. Specialty birds - There are plenty of times when special birds will pop up on your screen. These include endangered birds, oil covered pelicans, penguins, and more. Share these with your friends whenever you can and buy one for your self with Facebook credits. (Facebook credits are cheap, such as 70 for only $7.00.) When you can, buy one of these for your cage. If you can buy two of them, breed them and sell them for more money.

Once you start to play around with buying, breeding, and selling birds, you will find that your money will get a large boost without doing much work. Plus, you'll start to really build up some very unique birds and fill your cages with some that you cannot buy anywhere.
