Crafting Treats:

In order to use Helper Blue Jays (Hungry for Treats), you must craft the Treat Recipes. Note: Once they are fed, (Tree thought bubble), you will be able to use them on Trees and Groves (see “Using Helper Blue Jays” section below). You can craft your very own Treats via the Crafting Kitchen. If you would like a quick tutorial on how to craft, please visit our Official Guide: Crafting Kitchen.

From the Blue Jay House menu, click on the “Craft” button to open the Kitchen. You can choose from three different Recipes:

• 1 Blue Jay Treat: The required Ingredients are Strawberries and Leek (Leek is a limited edition Crop that you can purchase for Coins from the General Store). You will receive a total of one Treat.

 

• 2 Treats: The required Ingredients are Heirloom Figs and Blue Jay Treat Pouches. You will receive a total of two Treats.

 

• 3 Treats: The required Ingredients are Celeriac and Blue Jay Treat Bucket (Celeriac is a limited edition Crop that you can purchase for Coins from the General Store). You will receive a total of three Treats.

  

Using Helper Blue Jays:

Feeding your crafted Treats to an Blue Jay will allow you to use it to tend to your Trees and Groves. To feed a hungry Blue Jay (Treat thought bubble), simply click on it.

To use the fed Blue Jay (Tree thought bubble), simply click on it, and then drag and drop it over a Tree or Grove. Similar to Farmhands, a thought bubble will indicate that your Blue Jay will help you with one of the following tasks per Tree and/or Grove:

• Water: If your Tree or Grove is not watered, use your Blue Jay for Water
• Speed-Grow: If your Tree or Grove is watered, use your Blue Jay for Speed-Grow
• Ready for Harvest: If your Tree or Grove is ready to be harvested, use your Blue Jayfor bonus output

 

Once you have used your Helper Blue Jay, it will fly into your Blue Jay House and you will be unable to use that particular Blue Jay a second time.

Note: The Rare Coastal Blue Jay speeds up two Groves or Trees at once.
