How to Use Bait to Attract Birds and Small Animals

Bait Items

Two bait items exist: Bird Bait and Bait (Small Birds) Spawn Egg. Bird Bait is used to attract small birds, while Bait (Small Birds) Spawn Egg functions as a spawn egg for small bird bait. Aquarium Fish Food is the equivalent for aquatic animals.

Using Bird Bait

Place or use Bird Bait in an area where you want small birds to gather. Birds that respond to bait include:

• Blue Jay Spawn Egg
• Cockateil (Female) Spawn Egg and Cockateil (Male) Spawn Egg
• Allen's Hummingbird Spawn Egg and Anna's Hummingbird Spawn Egg
• Black Jacobin Hummingbird Spawn Egg
• American Flamingo Spawn Egg

Once birds are attracted, use the Bird Cage to contain them or the Animal Identifier Tool to record them.

Aquarium Fish Food

Aquarium Fish Food is used for aquatic animals. Use it near water to attract or feed fish and other aquatic creatures. This pairs well with the Aquarium Fish Food item when setting up aquatic displays.

Combining with Other Tools

Carry Bird Bait alongside your Bird Cage and Animal Identifier Tool. Bait brings the animal close, the cage contains it, and the identifier records it. This three-step workflow lets you build a complete bird collection efficiently.
