Hobbies: Bird Feeding

Note: If you have not done the Bird Feeding quest (available here), you don't have access to this hobby.
Only Senior Sims can do this hobby!


Once you've unlocked the hobby, send a Senior Sim to the park. In the centre (between the BBQs and the Duck Feeding) is a bench with pigeons on it. Tap it to make your Sim feed the birds. This takes 4 hours!
The reward is one of the following three birds (you'll need to collect all 3 to go to the next feeding spot, you might find already collected birds, like with any other hobby):
- Rock Dove (§ 25)
- Dove (§ 60)
- Rainbow Lorikeet (§ 150)

This unlocks the Swimming Pool Feeding spot. Feeding here takes 8 hours and rewards with one of the following birds per feeding (might be the same though, like with any other hobby):
- Blue and Yellow Macaw (§ 25)
- Scarlet Macaw (§ 80)
- Eastern Rosella (§ 250)

This unlocks the Community Center Feeding spot. Feeding here takes 12 hours and rewards with one of the following birds per feeding (might be the same though, like with any other hobby):
- Crimson Rosella (§ 50)
- Golden Dove (§ 100)
- Cockatoo (§ 275)

This unlocks the Snow Park Feeding spot. Feeding here takes 24 hours and rewards with one of the following birds per feeding (might be the same though, like with any other hobby):
- Galah (§ 75)
- Major Mitchell's Cockatoo (§ 200)
- Green Macaw (§ 500)

Reward for completing this part of the collection is 2000XP.


When completing the hobby for the fist time, you'll be rewarded with a "Parrot in a Cage". The fist one is free, the next one(s) cost 10 LPs each. (Available from the Home-Store, Pets tab).


From this point onwards, it is possible to use multiple Seniors to collect the birds. Only one at each feeding spot, so maximum 4 Seniors simultaneously.

The next and every following hobby completions earn:
First row: 750XP
Second Row: 1000XP
Third Row: 1500XP
Fourth Row: 2000XP
All Rows: 3 LPs.

Levels:
1. Egg (10% up per feeding, gives 250XP when reaching the next)
2. Fledgling (4% up per feeding, gives 500XP when reaching the next)
3. Pecking Orderer (2-3% up per feeding, gives §750 when reaching the next)
4. Skilled (1-2% up per feeding, gives TV10,000 when reaching the next)
5. Eggspert (0.5-1% up per feeding, gives 1LP when reaching the next)
6. Flock Star 


Happy Bird Feeding and Simming!
