The quickest bird rules the roost in this get-out-of-your-seat card game that won a 2025 Parents Best Toys Award! Race to get rid of all your numbered bird food cards before the other players by adding them sequentially to the pile: 4, 5, 6, etc. Play a matching number to reverse the order: a 6 on a 6 requires the next order of cards to be 5, 4, 3, etc.

Challenge cards require players to spin like a squirrel, draw extra cards, chase down the squishy worm, build birdhouses from cards, or move into another player's seat...while keeping up with the frantic, free-for-all fun! The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round; the player who wins the most rounds out of 5 wins the game.

Early Bird gets all ages laughing and moving, burns off extra energy, and it's super interactive and engaging for players with shorter attention spans. For 2-6 players.

From Hootenanny Games, for ages 7+ yrs.
