Where to find Sunbirds in Disney Dreamlight Valley
All five Sunbirds can be found flying around the Sunlit Plateau biome in DDV. They’re not always present, since Sunbirds have specific critter schedules, but there’s always at least two of them flying around the area. They never venture into other biomes, so search around the entire region carefully if you’re having trouble tracking them down.
