Overview[1]
The Bird Watcher was an NPC in the forest who investigated The Owl.
The Bird Watcher was an NPC in the forest who investigates The Owl. She was removed from the game in the frog invasion update, but she was back on the Halloween Update. She exchanged its feathers for Fuel Canisters. There was a Research Bar next to the Bird Watcher that would fill up every time you gave her a feather. When the bar was full, a Gem of the Forest Fragment would be dropped by the NPC. You could have gotten feathers by encountering The Owl and surviving it. As it flew away, it would drop one of its Feathers for you to pick up and return to the Bird Watcher. But during halloween, she can either trick you or give you a treat. This NPC was removed after the second part of the Snow Biome Update ended on 8/15/2025. But during the halloween update, it got re-added.

Appearance
The Bird Watcher appears as a blonde-haired woman sporting white attire as well as green socks coated by brown shoes and had a smiling face. She also wore a white hat and binoculars hanging at the chest. The Bird Watcher could always have been found behind her birch Research Stand. After the halloween update, you could find her in her house.
Strategy
The Bird Watcher gave a great and consistent supply of Fuel, all you needed to do is survive one encounter with The Owl each night after The Deer, which equals one feather every other night. After a feather is obtained, immediately return it to the Bird Watcher. There was no need to worry about Hostile Entities during the night due to how close the Bird Watcher was to your Campfire. Her resources were handy for Campfire Upgrades since The Bird Watcher guaranteed Fuel, so you didn't have to spend the days searching for reliable and strong sources of fuel.
Lore
The Bird Watcher began an investigation after rumors of a Mysterious Owl in the forest emerged. She relied on the player to collect feathers to continue her research on The Owl. As soon as she has concrete evidence this Owl exists, she can hopefully rest easy. Hopefully.
Patch history
The Bird Watcher was the fourth trader to be added into the game. The Bird Watcher doesn't leave during the night, unlike the Furniture Trader, Fairy and Pelt Trader. The Bird Watcher is the only NPC to be removed after an update. The Bird Watcher was the second NPC to not include/give a badge while the first being the Furniture Trader. The Bird Watcher returned to the game in the Walking Dead Update Part 1, so in another way: in a house where we can trick or treat.
