All winter birds in Heartopia
The winter frost season also introduces festive bird varieties. Most winter birds are familiar species dressed for the cold, making them easy to recognize once you know what to look for. These birds only appear during the winter frost season.
To find these birds, you must interact with the birding unit set up by Bailey J., which starts the winter birding event. During the event, all winter birds will begin spawning around Suburban Lake.
