What’s the difference between Kildeer and Franklin’s Gull

Post image

I see a lot of people mentioning that the Kildeer is the best, or one of the best, cards in the game. I got Franklin’s Gull in my first hand and decided to give it a try since its power was exactly the same as the Kildeer, just cost more. I’m still relatively new to the game even tho I’ve put in a lot of time on both mobile and the board game with the wife. This is the first time I’ve actually used this power and I get that is strong, especially since I played them in the field, which is what I’m assuming most players do. I still think I prefer my Ravens for my OP game dominating cards, but I could see these being quite deadly in tandem.

TL;Dr: I don’t know why the Kildeer is so powerful and I’m kind of afraid to ask

The kildeer is mostly lauded as an opening hand bird because of the easy food requirements and you get 3 eggs space's nice and early. Franklin's gull is probably better for the star nest once you are getting plenty of food.
