After 8 years, I noticed there are no birds in the sky.

Yea but then gardens should have butterflies, trees should have squirrels, list keeps going

One thing that's clear when exploring any GW2 map is that Anet care about niche details in their map design.

Having birds in the sky seems like a really weird thing to forget. It affects every single map, since the sky isn't going anywhere.

[Danikat.8537]

It doesn't affect every single map because, as discussed earlier in this thread, many of them do have birds flying around but it does seem odd for them to be missing from some places which should have them, like Queensdale.

 

Some maps I could understand not having birds, like Orr which is supposed to be almost entirely devoid of life (except the Pact invasion force) but if it's a fairly natural environment and there's other types of ambient life there should be birds too.

Griffons and skyscales ate them.

 

Do you see lots of birds? No. Do you see lots of griffons and skyscales? ... logical.

Go to a bird park if you care about birds

What if you could add birds to the game, but also... we get back Fractal Instability: Birds.

Make NEVERMORE and you'll see Ravens all the time. 😁

You could also cut out small birdshaped pieces of paper and hotglue it to your screen. This way you'd have birds even outside of GW2.

Harpies counts as birds? Because the ones in the image are harpies.

There are flocks of birds flying high up in the sky in Windswept Haven GH. Once I even saw one landing on the stream :D

Woah woah woah... stop right there! 🤨 We can work something out can't we?

 

🤨

But then if you are so into birds, give AngryBirds or BirdWars2 a go ?

There are plenty of birds in the guild halls.

Lost Precipice has a ton flying around making a racket, squawking etc.

And the Guild Hall from Path of Fire (forget it's name atm) has lots of birds flying around. It even has a really cool spot where all these colourful birds are perched on a candelabra in the jumping puzzle area. 

 

There are lots of birds, you just have to look up.  

[medivh.4725]

But will these look like birds now? Or they are harpies again?
