⚡ What Dark Chirp does
While the Black Bird is out, every pet you hatch from an egg starts with 1 to 3 bonus ages. Older pets are heavier (a pet's weight grows with age), so this is a small boost to everything you hatch.
🆚 Black Bird or Ostrich?
The Ostrich starts higher (up to 4.5 ages) but stops at 10, reached at 11 kg. The Black Bird starts at 3 and keeps climbing 0.1 per kilogram toward a cap of 15. They draw level at 70 kg, so below that the Ostrich is better and above it the Black Bird wins.
