Birds (weather)
Birds, formerly known as Lots of Birds, is a weather condition that was first observed on Season 3 Day 6. This weather is characterized by lots of birds being on and around the field during play. During a game under Birds weather, the Game Log will occasionally display various bird-related occurrences and commentary.
History of Effects
On Season 7, Day 63, the Game Log displayed the message "The Birds circle ... they peck Jessica Telephone free!". The modification Shelled was removed from Jessica Telephone and replaced with the modification Superallergic.
On Season 9, Day 1, the Game Log displayed the message "A flock of Crows ambush Summers Pony! They run to safety, resulting in an out." This was the first time weather had ever awarded an out. During a different game between the Breckenridge Jazz Hands and the San Francisco Lovers on the same day, the crows were responsible for the third out of the top of the 12th inning, triggering an anomaly known as Crowvertime, where the Lovers were given 16 outs instead of the normal 3. This effect was not seen following Crowvertime until Day X, when birds began attacking THE SHELLED ONE'S PODS as a result of their Curse of Crows modification.
Origin
Lots of Birds are thought to be the aftermath of Peanut weather, due to the number of stray peanuts attracting hungry birds.[1]
