A Bird In The Hand = Disappeared Cages

[controll alt defeat]

Hello, many people have an issue with this quest and some have said it's the most bugged in the game. I have a different issue than most, which is after I drop the cages, 2 of my cages just disappeared (one worked and caught the bird). One of the cages is showing up on the minimap but the other one seems to have disappeared from the world in every sense.

I hope this quest gets completely fixed with a way to restart it fresh.

I get this bug too... Glad its not just me. At least this means it can be patched. I cannot complete this until its fixed.

Take the quest, go there (don't put the cages in the horse inventory) don't save durring the quest, just drop the first cage at the first spot (there are 3 in total close nearby) First cage disapeared after I saw the "trap set" notice. I waited for 1 hour in game and then i noticed that the cage is still nowhere to be found. The cage was actually under the horse...i know it's stupid but then I picked it up and the rest worked as intended with the cages showing up with a white piece of cloth on them (that's when you know the birds are inside) then go directly to the huntsman to complete the quest.

I had two cages that showed on the map but were not present in the forest. Reloading an old save, placing all the cages & bringing them to the hunter without saving remedied the problems with this quest.

For me, I got through this by placing one cage at a time and waiting for it to trip and catch a bird.

I think the problem is that the cage model gets swapped out for a "filled" version, but there are numerous load error bugs in this version of the game, so it doesn't render. (or possibly renders in a different place.) The cage is probably there, but since you can't see it...

There are other bugs with this quest than just the last cage one. For example, if you move a cage to your horse it regards it as set.

[Draig]

It bugs out if you put cages on your horse, don't do that just go straight there and it should be fine...

[Nightowl21]

Same. Picked one full trap, next 2 placed cages disappeared. Nightingale songs stopped too, so I'm assuming the traps worked. Maybe they fell through the map?

I have this problem as well.

I dont have a dissapear problem mine is at end of quest when i turn it in i recieve my reward but it stays stuck an the conversation screen really annoying

If you had put them in the horse, and run into this bug, I found a way to "fix" them.

Put them BACK into the horse, and the drop it straight from the horse inventory, one at a time. They will fall out of the side of the horse.

Thanks, it worked after waiting one hour all cages reapeared with birds inside.

2023 still broken if you dont do the quest right away

put it my chest and now i cant seem to fix the bug. great game riddled with endless gamebreaking bugs

Edit: For fix everytime you drop them and they dont show it goes to your horse

take it from the horse and jump as you drop it. only way i could complete after 4 trial and errors
