Activating Bird Powers
- If a brown power draws a specific food that isn't showing in the supply, do I get anything?
- Can I pay the cost of an arrow power and skip the benefit (e.g. tuck a bird when the food isn't available)?
- On Rock Pigeon, can I take my own egg but skip giving every other player an egg?
- Can other players decline the benefit when a bird power gives all players something?
- If a card shows two actions with no arrow, can I do just one, and in what order?
- Does an OR between two actions (Green-Backed Camaroptera) mean I can only do one?
- Does the brown bar on the nest card mean I activate it as a power every turn?
