Yellow bird

The yellow bird, possibly a canary or a goldfinch, is a bird that will sit and chirp on the Bulletin Board when one or more new messages have been posted. First appearing in and returning in, the yellow bird has no official name or gender. Normal villagers will sometimes mention the bird in conversations. When the player starts the game, a bird can be heard chirping if the player's house is close enough to the Town Hall. In New Leaf, at night, there is an owl instead.

When the player approaches the Bulletin Board, the bird will fly away. The bird can be seen on the cover of City Folk on the sign. It has a four-leaf clover in its mouth.
