How to Play:


Step 1: Understand the Bird Families

There are four bird families you’ll be voting on:
  1. Sparrows
  2. Finches
  3. Woodpeckers
  4. Blackbirds
Each family has a set of bird species known for their unique traits, from vibrant colors to charming songs, and even their distinct behaviors!

Step 2: How the Voting Works

Each round will ask you to pick your favorite bird within a family based on its most notable traits. Think about which bird stands out the most to you in terms of:
  • Appearance
  • Song
  • Behavior
  • Vibrancy
  • Charm
Here’s how the rounds will work:
  1. Sparrows – Vote for your favorite sparrow based on its charm and appearance.
  2. Finches – Vote for the finch that catches your eye with its colors or songs.
  3. Woodpeckers – Vote for the woodpecker whose drumming and behavior stand out.
  4. Blackbirds – Vote for the blackbird that has the most striking personality or presence.
For each round, a Family Feud-style question will ask you to pick your favorite bird species from that family. Simply comment your choice under the post to cast your vote.

Step 3: How to Vote

To cast your vote, follow these steps:
  1. Look at the question and the bird options presented.
  2. Choose your favorite bird from the list based on what stands out most to you (whether it's their vibrant color, their song, or their behavior).
  3. Comment below with the bird species you’re voting for. For example, you might say:
    • “I vote for Red-winged Blackbird!”
    • “I’m all about the American Goldfinch!”
Note: You can only vote once per bird family

Step 4: Tallying the Votes

After all rounds are over, we’ll tally the votes for each bird species. The bird with the most votes in each family will be considered the family winner.
