How to play the Graceful Prinia

Shrubs speed you up instead of stopping you. Dive into dense foliage, press T for a thicket dash, and glean aphids with R.

R Glean: pick aphids from the shrub you are in or perched on.
T Thicket Dash: T inside foliage: a burst of acceleration through the leaves.
C Trill: buzzy "trrrt-trrrt".

The real bird

The Graceful Prinia is a tiny, long-tailed warbler that lives year-round in gardens, scrub and field edges. It often cocks its tail and calls a buzzy trill, and weaves a pouch-shaped nest low in dense plants.

The calls you hear in the game are real recordings from xeno-canto.org, credited in the game's sound credits.
