Blue Bird Snippets aren't spawning anymore.

So I was getting a ton of blue bird snippets in my valley, I come back a few hours later at night and none are spawning anymore. I thought maybe it was a time thing but others are getting them spawning at night. has anyone found a fix for this yet?

It seems a lot of people have had this issue. I saw a few people had mentioned it happened after starting a quest for Merida and that is when it happened for me.
I'm not sure about a fix yet, but I had logged off for the night and when I came back the next morning all the blue snippets were back - people have mentioned that they have noticed a decrease in snippets when it gets dark in the game (this was on Reddit and not sure if that's an actual thing or they had a bug as well).
Hopefully the devs are able to release an update for bug fixes soon

Is there a repellent trap in the biome?

Had this issue before even starting Merida's quest. Thought the quest might fix it, but no. I think the trap and the repellant mechanics are messed up for those who didn't hunt their blue snippets down to extinction.

This happened to me but they eventually came back and I have no idea how. Someone said it's caused by using the Eternity Isle ancient machines so I removed them all. I verified the game files, still didn't work but they simply reappeared again on their own. It's possible that certain quests glitch them out.

During the time they disappeared, I was able to obtain some by crafting a lure trap. Make sure it's the right type and not the slow trap or the repellent trap. It must say LURE TRAP. You can add several in one biome and catch bunches of snippets. Just keep in mind it costs 500 Storybook points.
