Is there a trick to selecting a bird to play?
I love this game, and while the digital implementation is a bit heavy in the bells and whistles, games against the AI so far have been fun if a bit slow and easy, but I'm sure that will improve with updates. Looking forward to playing against humans.

One issue I'm having is selecting a bird to play. I like that birds are highlighted when you have the appropriate resources, but when you've got more than a few birds in your hand, actually clicking on one to place can be incredibly frustrating. You click on one and another gets selected, or you click too high and it triggers another action, like selecting food, even if it's under the floating card. (I only play on the full-board view...I don't know why anyone would choose a different view.) Or you have 15 cards or so and you just can't actually pin down the right one over and over again.

Is there some secret sauce or keyboard trick I can use?

Thanks!

Felt this issue of being too difficult to select a bird in hand when we have too many cards as well.

Also I would add:
- A way to reorder cards, when I play the physical version I usually prioritize the birds in my hand.
- A way to hide cards, for example when a habitat is complete and no more birds can be played there I would like to hide birds in my hand that can no longer be played.

This. They're trying to mimic holding cards in had I think but it fails with more than 4 cards. Make it switch to a flat, horizontal layout or something.

I would also like to know if there is an easier way to select birds...
