Bird Sorter
Bird Sorter turns the simple act of putting birds in their place into a surprisingly deep mental workout. Each level presents a cluster of charmingly drawn birds and an equal number of empty nests, but there's a catch: you can only move one bird at a time, and some paths are blocked until you clear the way. The early stages ease you in, but before long you'll be mapping out multi-step solutions just to free a single trapped robin. What makes Bird Sorter so engaging is its blend of casual presentation and genuine problem-solving. The visuals are bright and friendly, with each bird sporting a distinct color and personality, yet the puzzles demand real forethought. You'll find yourself replaying levels to shave off moves or find more elegant solutions. It's the kind of game that feels relaxing at first, then quietly pulls you into a flow state as you untangle feathery conundrums.

What is Bird Sorter
Bird Sorter is a brainy puzzle game where you reunite colorful birds with their matching nests. It starts simple, but the branching paths and limited moves keep your mind sharp.
How to Play
Tap or click a bird to pick it up, then select an empty nest or perch to drop it. Plan your sequence carefully, as you can only move one bird at a time and some nests start locked.
Tips for Playing
- Always look for birds that are already one move away from their nest—they're your safest starting point.
- Try to clear blocked paths before moving multiple birds, as this can open up new possibilities.
- Count your moves; if you're running low, focus on repositioning rather than making random swaps.
- When stuck, pause and trace a virtual route from the hardest-to-reach bird backward to the start.
- Use the undo button freely to experiment with different orders without losing progress.
