chimney swift and other "move this bird"

[stupazzu]

searched for the topic in this forum, but seems to never came up.

during a couple of games here on BGA the movement is optional and skippable, but it is not!

the card states: "If this bird is to the right of all other birds in its habitat, move it to another habitat", is compulsory, not optional

the video game porting (played both on switch and steam) force the player to move the bird after taking action in the habitat where he is at the utmost right position.

Already ruled as not a bug, as all powers are optional https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=74806

The rulebook says: "... activating any birds with a brown "WHEN ACTIVATED" power in that row. Each power is optional." (emphasis mine)

Note you also get a choice for any other power, like drawing cards, laying eggs or taking food, even if it doesn't say it's optional.
