[Top 10] Best Birds in Wingspan (Ranked Strong To Strongest)

Wingspan, at its core, is a game about building a bird sanctuary. Hatch a plan to collect food, eggs, and cards to amass the most points and complete objectives before your opponent(s). But don’t just wing it–Wingspan sets you up to synergize abilities and bonuses, creating the most powerful conservatory in the world.

Wingspan is grounded in real science, providing in-depth traits about each bird as well as (if you have the online version) their harmonious call. But with the ever-expanding roster (or should I say rooster?) of birds and their abilities, which ones should you devote your time and energy to? Which ones will set you up for success and leave you flying high? Which birds should you take another gander at and welcome into your nest?

Here are my top ten avian avatars to collect in Wingspan and prove you’re no fledgling.
