Play Overview
Feather Family (2018) is a role-play game where you play all manner of birds at different stages of development. You select your species, design your feathers and explore different locations with other players. The game lets you pick up other players, eat things and talk to each other. It's an open game that lets players create their own stories, flocks, alliances and missions that evolve as they play.
The game encourages different sorts of play with the different biomes you can choose, each with a unique theme. The sanctuary biome, for example, offers a wildlife rehabilitation centre and veterinary clinic with cages to treat ill or injured birds. Or there's the jungle biome that's covered in trees and has a cave decked out like a hobbit hole and a treehouse with books and cages. Then there's the forest biome that has trees, ferms and traces of human activity like wheelbarrows and cut-down trees.
As players learn more about the world, they interact with each other and take on specific roles. Classes can be taught in the school room where one player takes the role of teacher. Young fledgling birds are kept safe in nests by the more mature birds. Expeditions and missions are invented for groups to go on that can be managed by joining together in a flock. Various activities offer rewards of the game's currency, Feathers, which are used to buy items and species.
The result is a game bursting with opportunities for play. It's a game that doesn't make you do anything, which makes you want to try and do everything. From the wide variety of locations to the attention to detail of how they are designed, and the hundreds of items you can find there is a lot of love and attention here.

Many families choose to pay for an In-Game Subscription that grants access to features and Robux currency for use in any Roblox games without the risk of individual transactions. Outside the game, you can make larger purchases.
This subscription grants 450 Robux a month as well as discounts on buying more Robux and access to selling and trading items with other subscribed Roblox players. The games generally encourage the spending of Robux to progress as a proportion of the money spent goes to the person who creates the game.
More exciting species of birds can be purchased using the main in-game currency, Feathers. Unlike some other Roblox games, you can't buy Feathers with real money or Robux. You get Feathers by simply playing the game. It takes 90 seconds to earn 5 Feathers, so it can take a long time to earn enough for the most expensive birds (30 hours to fill up your feather count).
You can spend Robux on Game Passes that unlock specific birds and customizations:
- Very Important Bird (300 Robux): Premium textures and aura effects.
- Phoenix (400 Robux): Morph into the legendary bird, the fire-breathing Phoenix.
- Basilisk (500 Robux): Morph into the legendary monster, the chicken-serpent hybrid.
- Griffin (600 Robux): Morph into the legendary creature, the lion-eagle hybrid.
