Is forest the best habitat in Wingspan Oceania? 

I used to be reluctant to play hummindbirds in the forest, but I've come to really like doing this, even pre-OE. In pre-OE, hummingbird in forest meant that, so long as I could discard a card, I could gain 3 food in forest activation, and while it gives the opponent 1 food I gain 3 at the same time, whereas in the GL or WL it can be trickier to decide when to give and withhold food. I often do this for games where I know I'm not going to use my forest much and don't plan to develop it, since those types of games are usually ones where I have ample card draw and need to occasionally gain a hefty amount of food and don't want to spend two turns gaining enough food to play a 3 food cost bird. In OE I think hummingbirds are more risky and potentially more rewarding since you can use it to amp up your own nectar supply and/or be forced to give your opponent nectar. Pileated woodpecker, Wood Duck, Cali Quail etc. are all much stronger since forest is so much stronger in OE!

Pileated Woodpecker went from Ok in EE to godlike in OE.

Playing big point birds is such dominant strategy in OE that I think it often justify forest hummer.

Oh yea, forest got such a big boost in OE

That would be my dream!

Some birds are definitely louder than the other. 😅

Either fun or frustrated…

Sometimes I lost track in the turns and rounds myself… 😅

I think engine still happens but it’s the the premium strategy anymore.
