The Ginger Island of Stardew Valley offers a ton of characters to interact with. They range from the odd Gourmand Frog to the survivalist Leo. One of the more interesting characters is the Pirate’s Wife, Birdie. This character is found relatively early in your explorations of Ginger Island, and thus she can be a bit strange compared to most villagers. It doesn’t help that everyone on Ginger Island is somewhat strange compared to the normal townspeople! Our Stardew Valley Birdie guide will let you know everything you could want about her (which is admittedly not much!).
Birdie in Stardew Valley
Birdie is an older looking woman who lives in a hut at the far West of Ginger Island. She has long green hair, dotted with purple stars, and wears a bow tie. She cannot be found when it is raining. Also, she is one of the few NPCs in the game that cannot be gifted to, no matter what the player does to interact with her. That’s a shame, because she seems to like fishing!
Uses
Birdie’s primary use is setting the player on “The Pirate’s Wife” quest. The player can start that by simply talking with her, no matter what other prerequisites you might have. She gives you a picture of a soldier to start you off.
And… this starts a chain of fetch quests, which we will list in order here!
- Give the War Memento to Kent
- Hand the Gourmet Tomato Salt to Gus
- Send the Stardew Valley Rose to Sandy
- Award the Advanced TV Remote to George
- Bestow the Arctic Shard to the Wizard
- Confer the Wiggling Worm to Willy
- Give the Pirate’s Locket to Birdie
Doing this awkward fetch quest will gain you the recipe for Fairy Dust, and 5 Golden Walnuts. Fairy Dust allows a machine to finish its process immediately, giving the player the product. When used on Kegs, it advances the quality of the product by 1 (normal to Silver, Silver to Gold, Gold to Iridium). This is great, but Fairy Dust requires a Diamond and a Fairy Rose, both of which are pretty rare! Make sure you don’t want to use them on anything else first!
