Ungrateful Birds: Call of the Desert

Another thankless task... One day while walking through a canyon in the red-rock desert, you hear on the desert wind the distressed cries of birds, who have again been cruelly confined to cages echoing all around you. Someone must help set the poor birds free, and no one else is around. But when you open their cages, they will not be grateful—the confused and angry creatures will turn on you. Go it alone or call in a friend. This could take all night. Ungrateful Birds: Call of the Desert is the companion game and sequel to Ungrateful Birds: No Good Deed, consisting of sixteen challenging stages with new features and new birds.
