I do find it notable how much better the Redstart is compared to similar birds (The Cardinal, the blue Jay, etc.).

And, compare it to a hummingbird - for one extra food cost up front, it gives an exclusive food each activation instead of giving everyone a food.

Humminbirds are versatiles but we all lost games due to double edge effect. Cardinal gives...berry ! Thats horrible. Blue Geay can fail and gives only seed, which is bad. Redstart gives you whatever and will set up the birdfeeder just the way you want and gives you 6 points, can benefit of two of the best bonus cards... i see nothing wrong about it.

Edit : yeah we say pretty much the same thing lol
