⚡ What Sparkle Squack does
Every 50 minutes at base weight, the Gold Finch has a 15% chance to give a nearby fruit Goldsparkle (×500). That's slow and unlikely for a fresh bird, about one Goldsparkle fruit every 5 to 6 hours. But a single hit adds 499 to that fruit's mutation total.
The wiki records that, as of January 18, 2026, no other mutation had a higher multiplier. It also notes that some players can't cleanse a mutation from a Gold Finch if the pet is too small.
