Birds disappear from world and stop spawning

Having a similar issue. It's hard to notice because catching birds isn't really a focus until sometime just before or during the humid season; it's at this point I'd like to unlock magic. I traveled to a number of different biomes in humid and lush seasons, and no birds are spawning at all. This is all well after entering/leaving the pig village a few times during the first few days.

A way around i found to catch birds when this happens is leave a bird trap with a seed bait on it next to a ruins entrance, go in, get out, there will be a bird on the trap.

BUMP!

This bug is really annoying me, and nothing seems to have been done about it

Reloading the game every 3-4 in game days is not really a fix...

Pigeon swarms cause the bug, they are not properly removed from birdspawner's tracker, filling it up and not leaving room for new birds to spawn.

For those who don't want to wait for the bug to be fixed, you can change line 47 of steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\data\DLC0003\scripts\components\birdspawner.lua from

[GROUND.FOUNDATION] = {"pigeon","pigeon_swarm","pigeon_swarm","crow"},

to

[GROUND.FOUNDATION] = {"pigeon","crow"},

@azukun good find, I hope devs fix this soon.

@bizziboi

Glad that this bug is finally catching more attention, especially with the release of the new character wormwood, who uses seeds much more than other characters.

hope it gets fixed soon.

Changed Status to Fixed

This should be fixed in the next update.
