m (previous tip wasn't entirely true & it cost me a game, so i just sat down and did the math before revising these tips)
(I organized the tips to make them more read-able. I also deleted false information. I added one tip and a clarifying statement. Overall, it's meant to be much more readable and helpful.)

If a player has already flown home 1 flock of a 6/9 or 4/6 bird species, it becomes ''impossible'' for anyone else to collect 3 flown home flocks 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.

TIP #3: Before taking your turn, make sure you haven't miscounted! There is NO undo button!

TIP #4: Collecting Strategy: When collecting, consider other birds that could complete your & your opponent's next moves as well as your flock. 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.

TIP #5: Try not to give away good cards.

TIP #6: When you pick up, match as many cards in your hand as you can.
