A quiet morning?
Not on my watch.

Tap landed birds. Save the peace.

Shoo hadedas. Big Oke takes three taps. Leave mynas alone.

How to play

Big Oke takes three separate taps and earns a +10 bonus when he leaves. Mynas have yellow beaks and eye patches: leave them alone. Tapping one costs 10 points and breaks your streak; your score never goes below zero. Relaxed Play has no points or time pressure.

Tap or click a landed hadeda to gently shoo it. With a keyboard, Tab to a zone and press Enter or Space.

Before the first call: 15 points. Once calling: 10 points. Every third early shoo in a row adds 10.

A late shoo or escaped bird ends that run. Empty taps cost nothing. Timed rounds last 45 seconds of play.

Prefer a slower morning? In Relaxed Play, hadedas wait for you. There's no time limit or competitive score.

Leaving or restarting discards an unfinished round. Switching tabs pauses it; choose Resume to carry on.

Scores stay in this browser. They aren't national rankings or backed up across devices. Simultaneous tabs may miss an update.
