Bunny hunting — the verified frame

  • Rabbits are one of the two confirmed prey types (the other is fish).
  • They live on the valley’s open ground, away from the water where fish gather.
  • Spawn points, timers and food values are not published — hunt the habitat, not coordinates.

Why Bunnies Matter

The official game description names rabbits alongside fish as the valley’s huntable prey. Bunny hunts are the land-based half of Broodwing’s food loop: they feed your bird during growth, and they stock the nest once Feed Chicks. Compared with fishing, bunny hunting rewards patience and spotting — which makes it the more interesting hunt for many players.

The shared fundamentals (approach, feeding runs, family logistics) are covered in the Hunting: Fish and Bunnies; this page goes deep on rabbits only.

Where Bunnies Live

Rabbits keep to open ground — grassland and meadow areas across the valley, the natural counterpart to the fish’s water. No verified spawn map exists, and we will not publish invented coordinates. What works instead:

  • Scan from altitude. A slow pass over grassland spots moving rabbits faster than ground-level searching.
  • Mark two or three patches. Remember where you saw rabbits and rotate between them; the valley rewards learned geography.
  • Combine with water runs. Grassland near water lets you switch prey mid-hunt — ideal when Best Nest Locations sits between both habitats.

The Bunny Hunt, Step by Step

  1. Spot from aboveFly a slow, high pass over grassland and commit to one rabbit — switching targets mid-hunt wastes the whole approach.
  2. Plan the approachRabbits react to pressure. Pick a line that uses terrain or distance so you arrive with the strike still available.
  3. Close the distanceWhether you dive from the air or drop to the ground and stalk, keep the approach smooth — sudden changes trigger the escape.
  4. Commit to the catchFinish cleanly when in range; hesitation at the end of a stalk is the most common miss.
  5. Fly the catch homePoint the return flight at the nest if the brood is waiting — travel and delivery in one trip.

Hunting Bunnies as a Duck vs an Owl

Both confirmed birds — Duck and Barn Owl — hunt the same prey. No stat or ability differences between them are published, so choose by the roleplay you want: the silent-owl persona fits bunny stalking naturally, while ducks do it just as capably in game terms.

Common Bunny-Hunting Mistakes

Chasing instead of ambushing

Long flat pursuits favor the rabbit. Use height or terrain to shorten the chase.

Target-hopping

Switching rabbits mid-approach restarts the hunt. Pick one and finish.

Hunting far from home

A catch you must fly forever to deliver feeds nobody. Rotate patches near the nest.

Ignoring the fish option

When bunnies will not cooperate, water is the reliable fallback — see Hunting: Fish and Bunnies.

Hunting Bunnies in Broodwing — FAQ

How do I hunt bunnies in Broodwing?

Spot one from altitude over grassland, plan a calm approach using terrain or distance, then commit to the catch — and fly the meat home to the nest if chicks are waiting.

Where do bunnies spawn?

On open ground and grassland across the valley. No verified spawn map exists, so learn your own patches by scanning from the air.

Is bunny hunting better than fishing?

No published food values. Fish concentrate near water; rabbits roam grassland — your nest position usually decides which hunt is cheaper.

Can chicks eat rabbit meat?

Hunted food feeding chicks is part of the loop, and Plumes can supplement feeding. The exact mechanics are not published.
