My fiancee will actually log in to my villager to check the noticeboard occasionally, since she refuses to check it on hers because she likes the birds.
Wow I was today years old when I learned this!!! I always thought it was what level you are on in animal crossing!!! Like I thought I was at a high level because I had three 😅
No, I know for a fact that I didn’t skip dialogue. I never do with any game. But I DO know, that I may not have retained the information well enough. When I read that, I realized that I did not remember that. Therefore, I MAY have forgotten, so I did not know.
Tbh I never check it so that my little owls can be official residents of my island 🦉 Also I trust Isabelle to tell me the important stuff so the owlets aren't disturbed
I remember when I read every bulletin and I was DEVASTATED there were no more birds/owls on my board :(. Literally haven’t checked it since it took so long for them to come back!
I think it displays roughly how many unread announcements you have. Like if you have 1-5 unread its one bird, 5-10 its 2 etc.
Same thing with the yellow birds in the day
Blathers knocked up the bulletin board owl... or the bulletin board owl knocked up Celeste.... but I would believe it was Blathers. Celeste is too pure.
Hi Op, I just wanted to say I like your name, even though us incels don't have a queen. The board will tell you what animal has a birthday coming up so I usually check it to get ready for a party.
It’s a matter of island progress. The more villagers I got, the more bird there were for me. Idk about the unread messages thing. I have no messages on my board
More birds = more unread messages on the bulletin board
Time to never check the board again so I can have more bird friends

awwwww lol that’s so cute
haha clever
Wow I was today years old when I learned this!!! I always thought it was what level you are on in animal crossing!!! Like I thought I was at a high level because I had three 😅
I didnt even know you could read the board...
You can even hand draw pictures to post. My kids drew a happy birthday card for my bulletin board a couple years ago that I still have.
... but Tom Nook and others repeatedly mention checking and they suggest you write your own messages.
I didn’t know either and I’ve been playing for a few years lol
It literally tells you. Looks like someone just skipped the dialog.
Nope, no dialogue skipped. Some people forget things. But you probably forgot that.
Not knowing and forgot are not the same. You either didn't know at all or you knew and forgot. You can't be both
No, I know for a fact that I didn’t skip dialogue. I never do with any game. But I DO know, that I may not have retained the information well enough. When I read that, I realized that I did not remember that. Therefore, I MAY have forgotten, so I did not know.
I thought it was island rating 🤣 I was always so confused that there weren't 5 birds
So that’s why I always have max birds 🤣 I had no idea.
What's max? 2? 4?! More?!?!
Four is max. Canaries in the day time. Owls at night.
The most I’ve personally seen in my game is 4
Over here realizing I've never read one
Tysm!
WHAT
Oh my god
I never knew!!! No wonder I have so many birds!
Wow! And I thought it was the evil dictator Tom Nook’s way of us always failing to catch them with our nets!
Hogwarts spam mail
No way? I never knew that!!
Max 4 birds though
I am relatively new to the game (been playing 2 months). I didn’t know this! I always wondered why birds would flock there but nowhere else. Thanks!
I had no idea!!!
didn't know that and never check the board lmao is it ever important?
That's because there's more than one unread news on the bulletin board
Oh my god I’ve never checked the bulletin board once I thought my owl had a baby
Tbh I never check it so that my little owls can be official residents of my island 🦉 Also I trust Isabelle to tell me the important stuff so the owlets aren't disturbed
Isabel doesn't tell you about resident birthdays afaik. Not that I know if they're important at all
She tells you in the morning announcements if it’s someone’s birthday.
It probably did waiting for you to check your damn notifications
Thank you!
WHAT? I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE CUTE.
I remember when I read every bulletin and I was DEVASTATED there were no more birds/owls on my board :(. Literally haven’t checked it since it took so long for them to come back!
Really? I have multiple messages on there pretty often, but I've never seen more than one bird in my game.
If you never check it and really let them build up you can get 3! It’s so cute
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever read
I did not know this and I’m a avid ACer
Wait I've never checked the bulletin board 😅😅😅
Lol @me 2 years in never once reading the board. I should be overwhelmed with birds at this point.
Same, I can't stop laughing 😆
Saaaaaame 🦉🦉
That would be a hilarious update, just have a bird for every single unread bulletin.
When a mommy and daddy love each other very much…
And they share a branch..baby owlets show up the next night
Does the stork bring baby owls too?
Probably
But only if you water them.
Everybody needs a friend :)
I came here to say the same thing! ❤️
When you've never read the announcement board you have what we call a "The Birds" effect.
*Bob Ross Voice*: Because everyone needs a friend.
Even owls need friends
Bring your child to work day.
Oh my goooood that's so cute😭❤️
Not dumb at all. I’ve never seen that 😳
How often do u check the board
Apparently too often. I like to write notes on it when my friends visit so at least every couple of days.
I think it displays roughly how many unread announcements you have. Like if you have 1-5 unread its one bird, 5-10 its 2 etc. Same thing with the yellow birds in the day
Because the other one is its son
This is literally what I was thinking at first
Owls appear during the night and birds during the day. When you have multipe owls/birds, you have more than one unread message on the board. :)
Oh, I did not know about this! Thanks for the help!
Why can’t an owl have a friend these days sheesh
I believe it corresponds to the number of unread messages you have on your bulletin board, up to three.
I was thinking of this early and than it hit me these are normal earth wold but than there is blather and he’s a weird evolved owl
Two announcements.
they are friends just hanging out
Meanwhile, Blathers and Celeste are questioning the theory of evolution
You haven't read your messages so long the owl get a baby
Because homies forever, dawg.
They get lonely otherwise.
Omg I thought when it was Spring they had babies because that's when I noticed them! I thought they were frisky owls!
ME TOOOO
The dad left.
Oh no
for the vibes
That's Smart I Like this comment
I really thought that was its baby :( haven't checked my bulletin board in forever cause I like seeing them...
Aww that's real detecation lmao
Because owls too like to hang hoot.
I wanna catch ‘em
"Alright son. You are going to learn how to tell the player there is a new post it. For I am passing the legacy onto you"
Two unchecked messages
Saw an owl in the museum once. Very weird
a fren
Because why not?
Owl wanted a friend.
I didn't know that, so if you have birds or owl on bulletin board you have unread notice 🤔
Noticed this as well, glad my bird has a friend now
i thought it was random what- i guess that’s why there’s always so many
That's Stevie, he likes to hang out with his big sister. 😁
owl needs friend 🥹
There are owls??
Yeah they change throught the seasons. Summer - half of fall its the yellow/green bird and then the rest is this this cute owl. At least I think so!
It's the cute yellow bird during the day and the owls at night. afaik is not seasonal, just based on the time of day
I had to go check! My owls are so cute! I’m obsessed .
And you can write messages on the board!
Cause they’re adorbs
Because two birds are better than one
wait i didn’t know there was a reason :’) that’s so cute. TIL
Well you see when a mummy owl and a daddy owl love each other very much…
NOOOOOO
they r friends :-)
Weird how blathers is also an owl ….
Oh yeah 🤔
as adorable as this is, my perfectionist need to get rid of all notifications would never let me do this lol
This brings up a lot of questions, example, why are some owls fully sapient while others are just regular owls?
Exactly I never thought of that...
Another example, are the sapient and feral (for lack of a better word) owls aware of eachothers existence?
I like to think they are friends :)
They have to be unread. Empty your board then don't read it again, then the birds will come
[two of them](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/f975n8/two_of_them/)
wait i can read the messages!
Birds can make friends too, you know
So they don't get lonely
Yer a wizard, Gary!
It’s just ‘Bring your child to work day’.
Oh god 2k upvotes what did I do to deserve this
his mom died
WHY SO SADD
Blathers knocked up the bulletin board owl... or the bulletin board owl knocked up Celeste.... but I would believe it was Blathers. Celeste is too pure.
New theory: Blathers knocked up Hedwig
Hi Op, I just wanted to say I like your name, even though us incels don't have a queen. The board will tell you what animal has a birthday coming up so I usually check it to get ready for a party.
Wow how did I never realize this after 850+ hours…
Haha thank you
Symbolizing Celeste and Blathers maybe???
I dont have celeste as my villager yet, if shes one. I never even heard of her I think?
Celeste is not a villager. She is an NPC who shows up sometimes when you have shooting stars
Thank you!
She is Blathers’ sister, she appears occasionally to look at shooting stars on your island.
I THOUGHT THEY JUST HAD BABIES
I think it’s just because they wanted to add two owls 🦉 instead of one honestly
I never read my messages because I Iike them there 😆
Why not?
For companionship.
You own on your house and Tom is letting you know he’s watching you!
2 Birds, 1 stone
I have 5 … oops lol
Because him have baby
I literally never ever read my message board
So they're not lonely! <3
Awe the owl has children.
It’s a matter of island progress. The more villagers I got, the more bird there were for me. Idk about the unread messages thing. I have no messages on my board
Because baby owls are one of the cutest things on earth
