Tap left click or Space to flap, hold to glide, release to dive, and use right click or Shift to brake. Send one gull to grab food, then fly another: earlier gulls repeat their recorded routes while the new bird heads for food still left on the beach. Clearing a verse's picnic opens the next verse; each of the six beaches has nine verses.

From the first gull to the final chorus
- Choose a beach. The six named locations are Bondi, Manly and Coogee in Sydney, plus Shamora, Glass Beach and Tokarevsky Lighthouse in Vladivostok. The page names six songs; their unlock order is not confirmed.
- Claim the first picnic food. Flap to adjust flight, hold to glide, release to dive and brake when needed. No frame-perfect path has been independently tested.
- Send the next gull. The previous flight replays exactly. Food already taken stays taken, so steer the newest bird toward a remaining snack rather than repeating the same job.
- Wear down obstacles across attempts. Balloons, kites, flags and the banner plane take hits from returning ghost flights. Repeated impacts eventually open a route; exact hit counts are not documented.
- Clear the current verse's picnic. This unlocks the next of nine verses. Filling the beach makes the assembled flock play its song from the beginning. A precise all-beaches ending condition has not been tested.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Try this | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| A new gull repeats an old snack route | Aim for food not yet collected | Inference from persistent food and replay rules |
| A kite or balloon blocks the way | Let recorded gulls hit it on repeated runs | Accumulating damage is documented |
| You overshoot | Brake with Shift/right click and vary glide versus dive | Controls confirmed; optimal timing unknown |
| You made a bad flight | Use Backspace to undo the last gull | Official control |
| You must leave halfway | Progress is saved, including partway through a beach | Official feature |
Umbrellas can bounce gulls, cooking smoke provides lift and the ice-cream van can bounce them. Beach cricket and Steller's sea eagles are hazards named by the creator. Exact positions and safe routes are unverified.
FAQ and version warning
Is it a one-bird challenge? No: replaying old birds is the defining mechanic. Do you steer the entire flock? You steer the new gull; old ones follow recorded flights. Are there only 16 snacks? An older indexed description said one beach and 16 snacks. The currently displayed official page instead describes six beaches, each with nine verses. Do not mix those versions. Can you fix a mistake? Backspace undoes the most recent gull; progress is saved.
The useful strategy is to plan each new bird around what the recorded flock already accomplishes. One gull steals lunch; the next ones accidentally form a band.
