Balloons are available everywhere but the mountain area and in your barn. In those areas, sometimes you will either get them or birds. Each have a chance to happen. You could have both happen at the same time if you are lucky

I got the "Midas Touch" achievement but didn't see any balloon. Looks like there is no chance.

Hey :D The birds have a higher chance of appearing than balloons. If you change area often, the timer might reset which could make it harder to get balloons. This is a change I made for the latest update to fix a bug. I might have to increase how often balloons appear

I've a few hours in, so maybe there is some skill lvl to attain before balloons appear more frequently. Most of my skills are +15. I've 32 birds to 0 balloons.
Perhaps birds/balloons should appear more often but accrue less gold per? As is, I find the timer to be too long. There is a chance for the bird to appear at the edge of the map or in a corner, and there is no way to click them. I think there are instances when things should appear but do not appear on screen for the player. More frequent bird occurrences may help.
As for balloons, I've not seen one.

Hey :D balloons and birds are not tied to ant skill levels. I will be decreasing the timer for the balloons. If you are in the farming around, forest, or fishing area they should appear. When you move area, the timer resets. Not seeing any balloons seems strange. I will look into this more.

As for the birds sometimes being in the corner, this can be a bug where they fly to a different location. I have also noticed that if you are fishing in the salt water, this happens more because they fly to the left side of the fishing area. I should look into picking points closer to the player.

The next update is almost compete. I will look into the balloon issue before releasing it
