This cache does not require a degree in cryptology, but it may require a degree in Ornithology. Okay...maybe it's not quite that bad, but a really good knowledge of birds is a definite asset for those who want to try find the cache.
A little bit of bushwhacking will be required. It will be in non winter friendly hiding spot. This cache should be fairly easy to find and can be found in the winter if you happen to have a battery powered blow dryer. In order to figure out the location of the puzzle cache, you will have to *correctly* identify all 10 birds on this Cache Page. Obviously the exact name and correct spelling is pivotal to solving this Puzzle cache.
As previously mentioned...the coordinates provided above are bogus. If you want to search there, that's fine. I hear there's good fishing. If you don't know the *exact* bird name, then some research online or in a Library will be required. You may need to enlist the help of friends, coworkers or a bird watching forum, after all 2 Bird "Brains" are better then one.
The location to the Bird Brain Challenge cache is....
45 AB.CDE 75 FG.HIJ
A=the digital root of birdA's name
B=the digital root of birdB's name
C=the digital root of birdC's name
D=the digital root of birdD's name minus 2
E=the digital root of birdE's name minus 2
F=the digital root of birdF's name
G=the digital root of birdG's name
H=the digital root of birdH's name
I= digital root of birdI's name minus 1
J=the digital root of birdJ's name plus 1
If you happen to come across any problems with the cache, please notify me asap by *private message*. Also, in the winter if the cache is buried too deep...a photo of GZ will suffice
