Look for the opening clues that leave exactly one empty cell each. Those are the safest first moves.
Hint 2 Tap to reveal
Remember what makes flamingos pink, then use the junk-food neighbor rule to place the two adjacent birds' meals.

Use the pelican's position clue to name the third bird, and the remaining resting spots will fill themselves.
Video walkthrough
Watch the full solve: the board, the clue cards, and every placement in order — each step below is anchored to the moment it happens in the run.
-
1 Bird B Is the Seagull, Bird C Rests on the Sea Surface 0:00 – 0:08
Fill in the two cells that the opening clues directly give: Bird B's type and Bird C's resting spot.
Drag the Seagull card to Bird B's Type cell, and drag the Water card to Bird C's Resting Spot cell.
-
2 Bird A Is the Flamingo and Eats Shrimp/Plankton 0:08 – 0:13
Set Bird A's type as Flamingo and its favorite food as Shrimp/Plankton.
Drag the Flamingo card to Bird A's Type cell, and drag the Shrimp/Plankton card to Bird A's Favorite Food cell.
-
3 Bird B Eats Fries, Bird C Eats Crab/Pizza 0:13 – 0:20
Use the junk-food neighbor clue to place the two junk-food meals on the adjacent birds.
Drag the Fries card to Bird B's Favorite Food cell, and drag the Crab/Pizza card to Bird C's Favorite Food cell.
-
4 Bird C Is the Pelican 0:20 – 0:24
Identify Bird C's type by using the pelican's distance clue.
Drag the Pelican card to Bird C's Type cell.
-
5 Bird A Rests on Sand, Bird B Rests on Rock 0:24 – 0:28
Fill the final two resting spots to complete the grid.
Drag the Sand card to Bird A's Resting Spot cell, drag the Rock card to Bird B's Resting Spot cell. When all cells are filled, the completion screen appears.

Trickiest clues
Junk-food neighbors
Because the flamingo clue locks Bird A to shrimp/plankton, the 'junk-food neighbors' can't be A and B. Place A's food first, then put fries and crab/pizza on the adjacent B and C.
The pelican's rock clue
The clue says the pelican rests closer to the Rock than to the Sand, not that it rests on the Rock. Use it to match Bird C's water spot to the pelican, then finish the remaining resting spots.
Final check
Start with the guaranteed cells and let each clue narrow the next choice. The flamingo clue sets the menu for A, which forces the junk-food neighbors to be B and C. Then the pelican's distance clue resolves the type and the final resting spots fall into place.
