So, I have access to the hobby. I've completed the first row of birds. They are quite cute, and I like how the new bird appears. Repeat birds do not, or have not yet, provided Madame Eden, one of my two Senior Sims, with any pocket money from her hobby. She is spending the next - is it 8 hours? - of her little Simmy life sitting at the Swim Center feeding birds, where she may, or may not, end up with a bird for the next row, and where she won't make much money. From the look of her clothes she could use a bit of pocket money from her hobby.
The first row of birds unlocks the ability to watch birds at the Swim Center, the second row unlocks bird watching at the Community Center, and the third row unlocks watching Snow Birds - which I take to mean bird watching at the Snow Park - not, as we say in the United States, watching "Snow Birds" [people] from cold Northern states who are spending the winter in a trailer park in the state of Arizona (a warm state).
After the Snow Park birds are collected, we get 2000 XP and the parrot in a cage (right to buy parrot in cage, I think.)
What are the pros and cons of this hobby?
I see one obvious pro - we get birds as pets! What, to you, are the pros and cons of our latest Sim hobby? My lack of imagination has found only this one "pro." There must be more...
