	'''~~Truth~~:''' each ~~kind~~ of bird ~~(flamingo~~, ~~duck, etc.) can make a MAX~~ of ~~3 flown home flocks - UNLESS any players started the game with a card in their collection of that same~~ species.		'''TIP #1:''' Take a look at your and your opponents' flown home flocks to decide whether to go for 3 flocks each of 2 different bird species, or 1 flock each of 7 bird species. The dealt cards will often dictate which option to take.

	''~~Now,~~ are ~~there still enough~~ birds to ~~complete your flock?'~~'		'''TIP #2:''' There are only so many cards of each bird type. As birds get collected, one to two are taken out of the deck, diminishing the probability they'll come up again.

''If there are no good moves, better to draw or get a new hand - this discards your opponent's cards too, plus gives you 8 new cards and an extra move.''

	- Always be aware of which birds you still need.
	- It's a race, so don't waste plays.		'''TIP #8:''' Discard Strategy: When you decline to draw new cards, this signals to your opponent that you'll trigger a new hand next turn. Because of this, you can decline to draw with two turns left and trick your opponent or at the very least, keep them guessing.
