About this converter
Wingspan birds cost 1 to 3 food tokens in five types plus wild. Cheap rows at 1 cover redstart halves, Killdeer choice, gull halves, kestrel rodent, kingfisher fish, sparrow seed and barn swallow total. Mid rows at 2 cover red-tailed hawk double rodents and peregrine total. Top rows at 3 cover Bonelli eagle, imperial eagle triple rodents and great horned owl total. Plus means AND while slash means OR choice across types. Swift pair at 1 each stays out on OCR doubt, as does waxwing fruit count.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 owl total against sparrow seed to see the three to one gap. Wild tokens stand for any food in gull math.
Victory points ride in context since points and food use different units. Eggs and tucked cards pay extra costs outside food rows. Expansions add nectar as a sixth food and stay out of base game rows. Feeder dice luck shapes real costs beyond printed rows. Swift pair stays out on OCR doubt from guide scans.
