Where to Find the Eurasian Golden Oriole in Heartopia

Eurasian Golden Oriole Location in Heartopia

Thankfully, the Eurasian Golden Oriole is relatively easy to find. You won’t need to wait for a rare weather pattern or a narrow time window. Once you meet the level requirement, you’ll be able to find this bird consistently.

Here are the exact spawn conditions for the Eurasian Golden Oriole:

  • Location: Home Lots, Rosy River
  • Time of Day: All day
  • Weather: Sunny, Rainy, Rainbow
  • Level Required: Birdwatching Level 3

For most players, Home Lots are the best place to search. The Eurasian Golden Oriole can appear right near your house while you’re decorating, organizing furniture, or simply stepping outside.

Keep your scanner equipped whenever you return home, as this bird can spawn without warning.

If you’re already birdwatching in Rosy River, it’s a good idea to keep your eyes peeled for the Eurasian Golden Oriole, too. Even though it’s a bit less consistent than Home Lots, the bird can also spawn near Rosy River.

You can leave your Home Lot and re-enter after a short while to refresh bird spawns and increase your chances of finding the Eurasian Golden Oriole.

The Golden Oriole is known for spooking easily. Rushing towards the bird the moment you spot it will almost always send it flying. Instead, equip your camera before entering the area, maintain a medium distance, and wait patiently for idle or chirping animations. These moments are perfect for snapping a high-quality photo. Having a calm approach lets you get better star ratings and more valuable Info Cards.

You’ll need Birdwatching Level 3 to find the Eurasian Golden Oriole. If you’re not there yet, focus on easier birds in early zones like Town Square, the Suburbs, and the Forest. Photographing common birds, waiting for pose animations, and turning in Info Cards to Bailey J. Will help you level up quickly.
