CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES
(Don’t bother looking there, the cache is not at that location,
however it might be a nice location to consider)
This cache is for the birds, literally!
To complete this challenge you will need to complete three (3) steps.
1. Solve the puzzle to obtain the actual coordinates.
2. Have found 25 distinct and unique bird species related caches.
3. Find the cache and sign the log.
The Birdbrained Rules
1. Caches can be found anywhere in the world there is no geographic restriction
2. You may already qualify, there is no date restriction.
3. Only physical caches (traditional, unknown, multi, letterbox hybrid, whereigo) count. Virtuals, earthcaches, events, CITO, traveling/moving caches, and “Geocaching Challenge” types DO NOT count for this cache.
4. Caches names must contain a distinct bird species in the cache title, for example Barn Owl and Hoot Owl are two different species of owls so that could count as two (2) birds, however Barn Owl and Owl could not count because one is more generic, but Owl by itself would qualify if you don’t have any other birds of that species.
5. Bird names must be stand alone; meaning they cannot be part of another non bird word for example “tern” would count, but “cistern” would not.
6. Birds can be real, mythical or fictional (i.e. phoenix, or griffin would count).
7. Words such as “bird” or “birdie” do not count; it must be a specific species of bird.
8. This cache cannot be logged "as found" until you fully qualify, however if you find this cache with someone else, or just happen to be in the area, you are welcome to sign the log, just post a note for the date the log was signed and offically “log” it “as found on line” when you are fully qualified.
9. Demonstrate your list of 25 unique bird caches either via bookmark list, image attachment on your log, listed in your log, or any other way you have to demonstrate which caches you have found.
10. This cache cannot count as one of the twenty-five (25) finds needed to qualify.

Interesting bird facts:
Chimney swifts are highly urbanized birds and are frequently found in urban and suburban areas with suitable chimneys and smokestacks;
and
Toys are highly recommended for such intelligent birds as lovebirds. Those with mirrors, open bells and chewable items such as rawhide and plaster are particularly valuable for lovebirds.
