Little Aviary

One of the best desktop companions especially if your bird crazy like me! the art style is so enjoyable and I love seeing my little guys go about their day. The one thing I'd say tho is I think the capacity upgrade price is a bit too much compared to how much extra space it gives you but that's it!

What a lovely game! The birds and backgrounds are quite relaxing to have on a 2nd monitor. It took me 26 hours to complete all of the achievements.

Little Aviary is a decent idea that never quite clicked into a game I cared about. The pitch is simple. You get a little aviary that sits on your desktop, birds hatch, fly around, and the whole thing is meant to just live in the background while you do other things. It asks a bit more of you at the start than I expected, but once things got going it settled nicely into my second monitor without demanding much attention. The core loop of hatching, breeding, selling, and decorating never really landed for me though. I bred birds because quests told me to, not because I wanted to. Same with decorating, that was purely for achievements. Nothing about it felt engaging, but it wasn't repetitive either. It just sat there, neutral. The zoom and reposition system was more annoying than I expected. Once you've placed a few decorations, moving or resizing the window gets fiddly and things start getting in the way. On the plus side, watching the birds actually behave was one of the better parts. Visually the game is very nice, and the music is a genuine vibe to have running in the background. The egg hatching sound effect stuck out in a bad way though, it just didn't fit the rest o…

I really enjoyed playing Little Aviary. It's an incredibly relaxing game where you collect birds and decorate. You can also put it in "focus mode" and have it as a little background on your computer while you do other things. If you're interested in ornithology or just need a way to relax and chill I would try giving this a go!!

Cute little game! The missions are maybe not working properly, but hopefully it'll get updates.
