Hi, how do you mean? At the very start, you are clicking or tapping on birds in your starting hand. Out of five birds you choose N to keep, and thereafter you may choose 5-N of your starting food tokens to keep (so if you keep 3 birds, you get to keep 2 food). Then you choose one of the two starting bonus cards to keep. You need to click confirm between each of these steps.

Once all players have made these selections, the game begins and the player going first may choose one of the four possible actions per turn (play bird, gain food, lay eggs, or draw birds; granted in the first turn of the entire game lay eggs is not really possible).

I am not sure of what you mean by that but maybe you could try the tutorial to learn how to play :

I did tap and nothing happened, apparently I am doing something wrong, time ran out and I had to quit 2 games, I did go through the tutorial. Thank you for those that offered help

If you are on a phone maybe you have activated the tooltips (on my phone there is a button just on top of the board).
You can try to deactivate to see if it changes something.

Maybe try to search a game in friendly mode so if it fails you don't lose karma.
