To kick off the quest, head over to the western side of Ginger Island and speak with Birdie. If you can’t reach this area yet, you’ll need to complete the Community Center bundles and help Willy repair the boat at the Fishing Hut. Once that’s done, you can visit Ginger Island whenever the Fishing Hut is open.

To access Birdie, you’ll first need to unlock the west side of Ginger Island by donating ten Golden Walnuts to a parrot located near a giant sleeping turtle. After donating the walnuts, go to the far left side of the island where you’ll find Birdie fishing. Speak with her, and she will tell you about the locket she’s looking for.

How to Complete the Birdie’s Quest

Once you finish talking with Birdie, she will give you a War Memento. Your next step is to return to Pelican Town and trade this item with several townsfolk to retrieve the Pirate’s Locket. Here’s a quick rundown of the trades you need to make for the Birdie Quest:

• Kent: Give him the War Memento to receive Gourmet Tomato Salt.
• Gus: Trade the Gourmet Tomato Salt for a Stardew Valley Rose.
• Sandy: Hand over the Stardew Valley Rose to get an Advanced TV Remote.
• George: Give him the Advanced TV Remote to obtain an Arctic Shard.
• Wizard: Trade the Arctic Shard for a Wiggling Worm.
• Willy: Finally, hand over the Wiggling Worm to receive the Pirate’s Locket.

Make sure to complete the trades in this order to finish the quest. Once you have the Pirate’s Locket, return to Ginger Island and give it to Birdie. She will express her gratitude and reward you with five Golden Walnuts and a recipe for Fairy Dust.

Fairy Dust is a handy item that can be used to skip production time for machines. You can craft it using one Diamond and one Fairy Rose. After completing the quest, you can still chat with Birdie, but she won’t accept gifts or build a friendship with you.

In conclusion, helping Birdie find her husband’s locket is a touching quest that adds depth to the characters in Stardew Valley.
