Disney Dreamlight Valley has an array of adorable critters you can befriend, including variants of the stunning Sunbird. This flying critter is a fun companion to have at your side, but first, you’ll have to actually befriend them by feeding them their favorite food when their schedule allows it.
Every critter you come across has a favorite food and a special schedule for when you can find it, so befriending these creatures can be a time-consuming process. Luckily, Sunbirds are one of the easiest critters to unlock if you know what their favorite foods are and what each of their schedules look like.
All Sunbird favorite foods in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Every Sunbird’s favorite food is based on the colors of their feathers, which means each one has a unique collection of favorites they’ll accept. The right food varies for each unique Sunbird type, but there is also some overlap between the Sunbird’s favorites since a few of these critters have some of the same colors.
There are five different Sunbirds in Disney Dreamlight Valley, which also means five different Sunbird favorite foods.

How to feed Sunbirds in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Sunbirds are by far one of the easiest critters to feed since all you need to do is walk up to them and select the Approach option to feed them. As soon as you do, your inventory will open up and you can select any item from your inventory to feed it.
How to befriend Sunbirds in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To add any Sunbird to your collection as a befriended companion, you must feed them for a minimum of four days. After this, the Sunbird may unlock as a companion at any point, but the total number of days needed after four is randomly chosen.
Each color variant of the Sunbird will need to be fed a minimum of four days plus whatever the extra amount of days selected is before you can choose them as a companion. Because of this, it can take quite some time to actually add all five Sunbird variants to your collection.
Now that you’ve mastered feeding Sunbirds, you might want to try tackling feeding all other critters and learning all critter schedules so you can successfully befriend all of the adorable creatures the valley has to offer.
