===Gem Birds===
A hidden path to the east in the jungle leads to an area with a shrine and several pedestals. The entrance is one square south of the parrot express kiosk and all the way to the east. Each pedestal has an image carved in stone in front of it that corresponds to a section of the island. Interacting with the shrine shows the following message:
A hidden path to the east in the jungle leads to an area with a shrine and four pedestals. The entrance is one square south of the parrot express kiosk and all the way to the east. Each pedestal has an image carved in stone in front of it that corresponds to a section of the island. Interacting with the shrine shows the following message:
:''"When dark clouds cry, begin your quest''

On rainy days, a single Gem Bird appears in '''one''' randomly-selected region of the island (north, south, east, or west). Approaching the Gem Bird causes it to fly away, dropping a gemstone as it does so. The player must collect this gemstone and place it on the bird statue at the shrine that corresponds to the island region in which the Gem Bird appeared.
Gem Birds always appear in at the specific location for their associated island region:
*North: South of the Island Field Office Tent.
*East: In the middle of the path in the jungle towards Leo's hut.
*South: To the southwest of the beach near the docks.
*West: West across the river from the farm, east of Birdie's Hut, at the pond.
The arrangement of the pictures and pedestals corresponds to the traditional compass rose, with north at the top (volcano: north, waves: south, palm tree: east, heart: west). There are five possible gems: [[Amethyst]], [[Aquamarine]], [[Emerald]], [[Ruby]], and [[Topaz]]. When all 4 pedestals have been filled correctly, the shrine activates and gives the player 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s.

*The [[weather]] on the island does not correspond to the weather in Stardew Valley. [[Television#Weather Report|TV weather forecasts]] show the daily forecast for Ginger Island beginning the day after the player first visits the island.

*A [[Rain Totem]] can be used while on the island to force the birds to appear.

*Birds will still appear and drop gems even after the puzzle has been solved. However, the puzzle reward occurs only once per save file.
*Birds will still appear and drop additional gems even after the puzzle has been solved. The puzzle reward occurs only once per save file, although the statues may still (incorrectly) display plus signs while the player is holding a valid gem near one.
*There are five types of gem bird, each leaving its own type of gem. Of these five, four are randomly selected and assigned randomly to the compass direction where they will appear. Random selection and assignment is accomplished once per save file and is in place before the player first visits Ginger Island on a rainy day. Whenever that day occurs, each game has the same assignment.

*The gems placed do '''not''' need to be the same ones dropped by the birds - a gem of the correct type from any source will work.
