Description

This is an old Parker Brothers track game where players learn to identify various species of birds. The game board depicts various paths running through the countryside. Bird cards are shuffled and dealt onto the 12 sight locations indicated by bird silhouettes.

On a turn, you spin the spinner and follow the result. If it is a number, you move along the paths the number of spaces indicated. If you spin the word "Fly", you move any stack of bird cards to any other sight location (usually away from an opponent and closer to you). If you spin the word "Flock", you collect one bird card from all the stacks. If you spin the words "Short Cut", you may move your piece to any space on the board. When you land on a blue space adjacent to a stack of bird cards, you may take half the cards in the stack (rounded down) and keep them. When all the cards have been removed from the board, players turn over the bird cards in their possession and add up the numbers on the back. The highest total wins.

For an advanced game, players are required to identify the bird depicted on the card before taking possession of it.
