Question about bonus cards

I’m hoping someone can help me before I report a bug.
The bonus deck was empty. I played a bird that was supposed to let me draw 2 bonus cards. When I played it, it wouldn’t let me. I received a server error message. Is the bonus deck supposed to be reshuffled when it’s empty? Should I have been able to draw 2 bonus cards? I can’t find anything about it in the rulebook… maybe I’m blind.

No idea what the rule is here, although I'd be inclined to assume the same as you - that the bonus cards previously discarded would be reshuffled.
Mostly I'm amazed that this happened - I'm not sure how many bonus cards there are but I would have thought that, even in a 5 player game with just the base game bonus cards (as obviously would be the case on BGA), and several players playing birds that let you see additional bonus cards, this would be almost impossible to do!

Yes, this is a bug. I will take a look.
This report has been created, and fixed with a new build deployed this morning.

Nice work, but you're spoiling us. People are going to start thinking all bug fixes happen this fast.
