Category : Barnyard Bird Information

 

 

Hello everyone. This week we have seen alot of tickets on people needing horses replaced. Well we all know SL can eat them or make them Poof, but heres something that we have noticed alot of people doing. NEVER highlight and take a group of horses, K-9s, bundles, or kennels into your inventory. Most of the time when you do this, you will lose all the items as they will not rez back out

 

Also if you find a breedable in your inventory and you know that you already have it out, you can right click on the item in inventory, look in the description field and compare the numbers from that with your breedables number. If you set it out and you already have it out, both copies will duplicate.

 

When SL does a sim Rollback, it takes the sim back to a previous state. If you have purchased a horse from someone, and the sim where you purchased the breedable from has a rollback, it can create a duplicate issue., maybe even someone else has come along and also purchased the same breedable. This is why we ask for transaction history. If this happens you can contact the seller for refund. Please don’t just assume they are selling duplicates on purpose. Talk to the seller. Things can be worked through.

 

 

I have noticed a lot of problems have been happening with breedables disappearing at auctions, some by SL roll backs, some by lag when trying to rez them, and others when taking them after purchase. When you go to an auction you have to fill out a notecard about your breedable. It only takes a little extra time to record the UUID number on the notecard.

 

Go to edit on the breedable, in the description line that is the uuid number. That number is very important and can help a lot if you need to file a ticket for a missing breedable, highlight the number and copy , paste to notecard. Doing this is like taking each one of your breedables’ fingerprints!! It can be a big time help if anything ever does happen to your breedable.

 

 

Having your breedable named can be very helpful especially when SL eats you Horse, K-9, or Barnyard Bird. We need information to remake your breedable. What we need is the Name of breedable and/or UUID number. If you leave you horse, K-9, or Barnyard Bird as Amaretto Breedable Horse, Amaretto Breedable K-9,or Amaretto Breedable Barnyard Bird, it can make it harder to find and sometimes impossible. The same goes for kennels, bundles and nests

.

We can only replace, remake your item if we have the information, so please take the time to name all your breedables.

 

Names can be as simple as using a number. It will also help you keep track and know when you are missing a horse, K-9 or Barnyard. example (White Walker Female, White Walker Female 2, White Walker Female 3)or for bundles, kennels, and nests, BW/Gar/LL/DblGloom, BWGar/LL DBLGloom 2

 

When you get a bundle, kennel, or nest and you decide not to birth it, name it before you take it into your inventory. Lets say a few weeks down the road you decide to birth that bundle, and the horse stays white and doesn’t birth. or you go to rez it out and it dissapears.You probably dont remember who the parents of the bundle were, but if you have named the bundle and paid attention to the bundle name before you clicked birth, you now have some information to give us that can help in finding out about that bundle. Again try and make the names different, even by using a number. You can start naming your bundles/kennels/nests by starting with a number and then naming the bundles in the next number order (1 BW/Gar/LL/BblGloom, 2 BW/Gar/LL/DblGloom, Etc)

Happy Friday everyone!! I hope you have all had a wonderful week and received lots of wonderful bundles, kennels and nests!

Barnyard Birds Consumables

Keeping your Barnyard Birds healthy and happy is real important. They need special things and lots of love, so they can produce you some awesome nests. Below is a list of consumables that your Barnyard Bird needs and will enjoy.

 

 

Barley Bird Diet

 

Barley Bird Diet is the food that keeps your Barnyard Birds healthy and able to breed when its time. Without a source of food the Barnyard Birds will become sick and will need to either eat their way out of starvation or be healed using a Flu Shot. .Remember to set home within range of food

 

**One Barley Bird Diet feeds one Barnyard Bird for 28 days**

 

 

Pet Pellets

 

Do you have Barnyard Birds you want to keep only as pets? If you do then Pet Pellets is the food for you! Pet Pellets will keep your Barnyard Bird healthy not just when they are Seniors but also on those younger birds you simply do Not want to breed. Without a source of food the Barnyard Birds will become sick and will need to either eat their way out of starvation or be healed using a Flu Shot. Be sure to set your Barnyard Bird to Pet Food using their Main menu. Remember to set home within range of food

 

**One Pet Pellets feeds one Barnyard Bird for 28 days**

 

 

Orange Rinds

 

Orange rinds are used to build the vivacity of your Barnyard Bird! These are important as your Barnyard Bird must have 85% or higher vivacity coupled with 100% vigor in order to breed.

 

 

High Potency Seeds

 

High Potency Seeds provide a 10% increase to Vigor. Vigor is important as your Barnyard Bird must have 85% or higher vivacity coupled with 100% vigor in order to breed. This consumable can only be used on a Barnyard Bird once in a 24 hour period.

 

 

Poultry Glow

 

The Poultry Glow provides a 5% increase to Stamina, a 5% increase to Vivacity and a 5% increase to Vigor. This consumable can only be used on a Barnyard Bird once in a 24 hour period.

 

 

Flu Shot

 

If your Barnyard Bird runs out of food, or if you leave it in your inventory it will become sick. Once your Barnyard Bird is sick it will take 4 days for it to eat its way out of sickness, or you can purchase a one-time use Flu Shot that will heal one Barnyard Bird instantly!

While watching the main Amaretto Ranch Breedables group chat lately it seems like the most confusion is about how many traits are possible on a horse. So I thought I would use my blog today to list the traits possible for all Amaretto Breedables! I hope this clears up any confusion and good luck to all in getting the trait combinations you desire!

This has to be the biggest issue we see with the horses, K9s and even the Birds, missing and can’t be found breedables.  It is very easy for us to get these back to you if you have the information we need to locate the missing breedable.

 

  1.  If you have the UUID of the missing item we will be able to locate it.
  2. If you do not have the UUID of the missing item we will need to know the name of it and provided every breedable you own is not named Amaretto Breedable Horse/K-9/Barnyard Bird we can locate it with the name.
  3. If you have not named your breedables, well first off shame on you! How would you feel if your parents let you wander through life named Baby Boy or Baby Girl? If you have not named them we can still locate it for you if you have the parent information.  It would be best if we had both parents but as long as you have the mother’s information it is still possible to locate them.  A side note on naming your breedables, please don’t name them all the same. If you use a name twice, give one of them a number also, or a sir name, Sr., Jr. III, etc.  If you leave the breedable named Amaretto Breedable Horse/K-9/Barnyard Bird then we have no way of knowing which one of them you are missing.
  4. We will also require your Transaction history if the missing breedable is one that you purchased.

 

I hope this helps everyone when filing a ticket to get there lost loved one returned to them!  Happy Breeding everyone!
