In Disney’s Dreamlight Valley, there are five distinct Sunbirds that you can encounter in the Sunlit Plateau and eventually win their friendship to have them serve as your loyal companions.

  • Emerald Sunbird
  • Golden Sunbird
  • Orchid Sunbird
  • Red Sunbird
  • Turquoise Sunbird

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, two unique types of Sunbirds, the Pink Whimsical Sunbird and Blue Whimsical Sunbird, can only be acquired by buying them from the Premium Shop using Moonstones, the game’s premium currency. These specific Sunbird species do not naturally appear in the wild and cannot be nurtured or bonded with. Instead, they are instantly added as companions once purchased.

How To Feed Sunbirds in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Sunbirds are one of the easiest critters to feed, as they will readily approach players hoping for a floral treat. When a Sunbird is within acceptable range, the player can interact with the critter and select a suitable food to share. Like other potential companions, feeding a Sunbird its favorite food paves the path to quickly and efficiently befriending and unlocking them as companion pets. A companion can be fed any number of times in a day but will only increase affection and give a reward with the first feeding.

Providing the critter with its preferred meal not only boosts friendship points significantly but also increases the quality of rewards for your dedication. Feeding a Sunbird its favorite food can yield the maximum affection reward and potentially grant you a Memory Shard, which could contain a Memory Piece, Night or Dream Shards, or a Motif Bag. On the other hand, offering just a favored food results in less affection and might result in a Memory Shard, Seeds, or Materials (like Vegetables, Crystals, etc.). When you’ve gathered all Memory Pieces or Motifs from Sunbirds, you’ll receive Star Coins or alternative rewards instead.
