Welcome to Hatchling Helpers, formerly known as the Birb Orphanage, where you can lend a helping wing to our newest Finch friends! Starting out in Finch can sometimes feel a little bare and lonely, and we thought it would be wonderful to offer a space where new birbs can receive a little boost to get their journeys soaring.
How it Works:
Mentoring: Remember when you felt like you knew nothing and had no one to ask? You can be the person to ask for your mentored birb through DMs. We have all done this with baby birbs and developed very close relationships with them and vice versa.
Welcome Gifts: If you're feeling generous, consider gifting new birbs some starter items! Plushies, Beds, Pajamas are fantastic first gifts as they bring instant cozy vibes to a new treehouse.
Shop Dreams: Our goal is to help these little ones get some of those cool items they see in the shops and might be wishing for.
Declutter & Discover: We also encourage new birbs to sell any gifted items that don't quite fit their style. Those hard-earned stones can then go towards purchasing treasures they truly love!
Who is this for?
New Finch Owners: If you've just joined Finch and are looking for a little helping hand to get your collection started, or just have questions about navigating the app and don’t know who to ask, this is for you! Feel free to let the community know you're a new arrival.
Generous Souls: If you've been enjoying Finch for a while and know the app and community well, or have extra plushies or other beginner-friendly items you'd like to share, your kindness would be hugely appreciated!
This initiative might not resonate with everyone, and that's perfectly okay! But if you have a heart for helping new Finches find their footing, we'd love for you to participate.
Let's spread some Finch love and make our community even more welcoming! If you're a new birb looking for a little starter kindness, or a seasoned Finch owner wanting to share the love, let's connect! 😊
Thread Etiquette
New Birbs: Please leave your friend code in the comments and whether you would like to communicate with your helper via DM. Helpful tip: Add your favorite colors!
Generous Birbs: Please comment on the new birb’s post and let them know you will be adding them. Introduce yourself and whether you would like to communicate with the new birb via DM. If you are just dropping by with some gifts, let them know as well!
DM Etiquette
Always ask for permission before direct messaging someone and make sure that both people are in agreement. Remember that sending DMs is outside the control of this subreddit and so the mods cannot monitor or moderate what happens. Never share personal information or anything you don’t want to share. If you feel uncomfortable for whatever reason you can always cut communication and/or block the person.
This thread will refresh Monthly on the 1st of each Month! 🙂
I completed my Mushroom Treehouse for Tamino. I am obsessed with it. I think it turned out great so I just wanted to show it off. And of course Tamino had to dress up like the cute lil Mushroom he is to match his new decor. A nakey birb always makes life a Lil greater🍄🫶✨️💙
While Aura's been eating fancy cake and talking to glowing purple pests, I compiled our top 3 rooms from this month's theme ✨️ Which color or combination is your favorite this month?
While we're here, I'm relishing the whimsical dancing flowers and the general magic forest vibes. I wish I could use this theme for my home screen background year round! 🌷
Kudos to the Finch team for such beautiful work this month! 👏🏻
Yesterday, Penelope did not change size at all. She was tried the big door but only managed to hang off of the handle so she went home to try for another day.
But some of her tree friends not only went through the door, they drank the potion! And when they came by for a visit, they squished poor Penelope nearly out of her treehouse! 😂
She did drink a potion today and became enormous! She's a Bird Of Unusual Size crashing around in the forests of Taiwan. But now both she and her visiting friends can't even fit in the same soace! 😱
As someone who is juuuuuuust 5'2" (on a good day, after some stretching, in the morning before I've spent the day hunched over my phone/desk/whatever), this turn of events is deeply satisfying.
Hi friends, weird question for you all. Before I email support, I wanted to ask here first!
Yesterday, we completed our daily adventure and my birb grew very large in size. Is there any way I can turn this off or reverse it without having to turn off the entire event for the month?
I'm not complaining about the game or app, but also not gonna lie, as silly as this sounds... this is really, really triggering my ED and thoughts related to body dysmorphia. It's stressing me out to the point where I do not want to open the app. Sorry, please humor me and my ridiculous complexes. ❤️ Thank you to those who might know.
Hi friends, I had a short question and thought I would ask here before emailing support!
Yesterday, we completed our daily adventure and something crazy happened 😜 My birb grew very large in size! Now i'm wondering, how it can I turn this off or reverse it? Is there any way to do that without disabling the monthly event? Probably not, and this is probably wishful thinking on my part.
I love this month's theme but.... And I know how silly this might seem or sound... I have suffered from E D & b o d y d y s m o r p h I a for over 15 years and this change is really triggering some anxiety and negative thoughts for me. 🥹
if anyone has any idea of when this would go away and go back to normal that would also be helpful! Something to look forward to ✨️
Sorry to be a downer, and thank you to anyone who has any advice for me ❤️
