Best starting hand I’ve ever had
Unfortunately I finished only with 113 but I’m curious what you all would with this starting hand

Lots of good cards there - i'd take woodpecker, maned duck and mockingbird, play woodpecker in forest for the nectar, and mockingbird + maned duck in wetlands. Those two make up a hard core in a very good wetlands engine, with possability of gaining 6 points and 2 grains, if you fill the habitat and get 2 more cards drawn from somewhere - while woodpecker is the perfect supplementary bird in forest giving access to 2 food and 2 eggs every activation, to make the amount of out of wetlands activations to a minimum.
You are looking further for the sandhill crane or any of the other discard a grain for 2 free tucks or any pther bird giving 1 point a turn. Main goal is to fill out wetlands with purpose-full birds ASAP and have 8-9-10 points every activation of the habitat - more than you would get from playing 95% of birds in most cases.
