How to get and train a bird in Travellers Rest

Travellers Rest has been cruising along in the Early Access program on Steam for a while at this point, and there’s a bit of content to be chewed through. While most content is front and center, such as crafting brews or cleaning filth, some are only hinted at until players happen to stumble upon them. One of these hidden mechanics is training a bird to insult your patrons — here’s how to get it.

How to find the mysterious vendor in Travellers Rest

There is a hidden vendor that will only appear after 2000 on Wednesday and Thursday. If you have staff, you can easily walk over while the bar is open, although upset customers could harm your reputation as you aren’t there to quiet them down. Move south from the tavern, and find the pond with a dock near the bottom.

From there, walk right through a camouflaged path to find a rather shady character that wants to ensure you aren’t part of the guard. Quell his fears about you being a guard, and then open the shop. The vendor’s shop consists entirely of bird-themed stuff, and will set you back about 18 gold for everything necessary.

What to purchase from the mysterious vendor

Players will need to purchase a few specific things to begin hatching, and ultimately training, the parrot. Purchase the following items from the vendor; bear in mind pricing can change depending on bartering skill:

• 1 Parrot Egg
• 20 crackers

Crackers cannot be crafted from the kitchen, even with yeast — they can currently only be purchased from the mysterious vendor.

How to hatch the parrot egg in Travellers Rest

Once you have the egg in your inventory, it’s a matter of hatching. For this, keep the egg inside your inventory while walking around and completing various tasks. We recommend keeping it in your hot bar so you can keep tabs on it without opening your inventory. Eventually, cracks will begin to show and the bird will come out, offering an achievement called ‘Eggs-plosion.’

How to mount and train your bird in Travellers Rest

Enter Design Mode in your tavern (default of ‘B’) and place the bird perch where you’d like the bird to sit. Afterwards, place the bird (much like a candle) on top of the perch. Now you can begin to train your bird as you see fit.

The bird will use various phrases throughout the day, which can be reinforced with a cracker, effectively training it. You can reward the bird twice a day, and fully training your bird should take about twenty crackers — ten days if you never miss a phrase. Once the bird is fully trained, you’ll receive a second achievement called ‘Early Bird.’ This will notify players that the bird is fully trained, and doesn’t necessarily need further interactions.

the heck, you make account to promote only one game? from that what i see you already was have another game on steam (Between the Stars) why cant you just make original account with publisher name (Isolated Games) goooffy ahhh! I'm going to play the game soon but it seems too easy for me

The game has a lot of potential, really enjoyed the demo! Worth a look if you love Stardew! Made a short video to give people an overview but will be uploading my full demo playthrough in a few days! Keep up the good work!

Lovely game, my only bad feedback is that sometimes it is difficult to place new items. Other than that I loved the game. I definitely will be purchasing when it is available.

hey, can i ask, what do you use to make this game?

if you download the demo it will say made with unity(im not devoloper btw)

he may used unity :D

Yes, with Unity

This game seem like tavern owner simulator :3 This is awesome :) I like it! 

music is good. I feel enjoy >w<) and game design is pretty good too.(I can't said surely because i stil didn't play full game)

i just have 2-3  problems in this demo (i don't know lastest game process ) is 

(1) my finger is so tired when (because walk is slow) i want to run everytime  So i press shift and WASD in same time (can switch 'run' (without press shift) and 'walk' (with press shift) or atleast can setting this)

(2) Font is small. I can see them but hard to read them. because font is small (or maybe type of font, i don't know)

(3) I want to pick up some wood  below side but menu game is front (cover up) ;-;) It's no problem to pick up but i'm just feel little annoy. I want auto move menu from below to upper when Player move to below side.

Don't worry It's just my onion.. i mean opinion.

however, THIS IS SO NICE GAME!! :-)

Had a little fun, some mess got stuck under some of the AI and I could not clean it, rappidly losing REP. Look forward to playing it in a more finished, polished state.

Hi there! Awesome looking game. Is there a demo for Mac by any chance? If not, is there a way to try the demo on a Mac? Thanks!

I'm interested in Mac version too!

Hello, yes a Mac/Linux build is planned during Early Access!

Will this be releasing here as well? I had a lot of fun with the demo, but it cut off waaaay too soon, and I'd love to buy the game. I don't really purchase on Steam, though. It's GOG or Itch for me.

Hi there, the game will be released on GOG, hopefully!

I'm also a GoG person. It'd be really nice to see this game there, soon :)

And yes: Steam sucks :)

Lost my entire account there years back so, while I do occasionally redeem a gift or unlock some bundle content on my replacemernt accoutn, I don't really buy there anymore. I like how, with either Itch or GOG, even if I were to be completely banned from the store I wouldn't lose the games I already bought. They're on my NAS, not lost in the cloud, so while I may miss a patch if I don't have access to the account I bought it on I won't ever lose everything again.

Funny, my GoG games are also stored on my NAS :)

It's true, you can never really lose your GoG purchases and even GoG can't take them away from you!

Hey, this game looks awesome, I accidentally found this when I was searching for Stardew Valley. This looks very similar to it. I was fascinated by the fact that this was developed in unity. I appreciate the effort you put into this game. Do you run any YouTube channel or did you document your journey from starting to the end of this game? If yes I'd love to see that. Anyway, this game looks slick!

Many thanks! Here is the twitter account that was updated along the journey ( https://twitter.com/louqou1 ) but feel free to join us on Discord and ask any question you may have:  https://discord.gg/gA8RPQz

Hi! It was a nice game and I love it! and can u still keep updating this even its a demo?

Hello and thank you! I'm glad you like it. We do plan to release the game on early access so the demo will not be updated for now. 

when the game finish, does it will be free or must buy

It will not be free but still thinking about the pricing...

i hope it will be affordable :), since corona my money been depleted so fast

Thank you! I've just added the ability to rebind the customise character key in the upcoming early-access build.

Why don't you use the arrow buttons instead? I'm also left-handed (only on the computer, long story^^) and I'm totally fine with the arrow keys! :)

This is a great demo. Looking forward to playing the full game. Nice work!

Any info on when this will be available on early access?

Hi and thank you for your interest! We plan to release the early access in about a month. You can already try the demo here and wishlist the game too:  https://store.steampowered.com/app/1139980/Travellers_Rest/

Loved the demo and added it to wishlist just looking forward to the early access release.

Final preparations underway in downtown Detroit ahead of 2024 NFL Draft

By Kelly Vaughen

Updated on: April 24, 2024 / 11:41 PM EDT / CBS Detroit

(CBS DETROIT) -  Detroit is just hours away from hosting the 2024 NFL Draft . Celebrities and football stars are making their way into town, along with hundreds of thousands of visitors, and Detroit business wonders are ready for them.

"The excitement it's bringing to the city, a great economic impact too," said Zeana Attisha, owner of Sahara Restaurant and Grill .

Their District Detroit location is near all of the draft activities downtown. And they have already hosted some of the parents of draft prospects. Attisha said they are ready for the crowds the rest of the week.

"The chef has prepared triple the amount of preparation that goes into our freshly made food. And all the prep work that goes into that. Obviously, staffing has been tripled. Everything, from ways to ways to even get to work. They are all going to carpool and get dropped off," she said.

GUIDE:   Things to do in Detroit while you're in town for the NFL Draft

Michigan residents said it's about time Detroit got this spotlight , and they love that tourists are getting to see it. 

"The amount of people that are down here is crazy. We went to the casino and all the people that were coming down all dressed up, it's beautiful," said Lansing resident Cammi White.

Football starpower is now in the Motor City. NFL legend and Detroit native Jerome Bettis said he is now proud to root for the Lions.

"For years and years, when I was a kid, they didn't win. So, I found myself rooting for other teams. But now I am rooting for the Honolulu blue," said Bettis.

Bettis hosted an event with other hall of famers like Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson.

He said his goal now is to focus on young players with the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan's 3Cs Sports  Conference. 

"From the mental health perspective, from NIL perspective, from the youth perspective. So, we want to just bring this all-encompassing conference to Detroit, where I think it can be very, very useful."

The best new cruises in the world: 2024 Hot List

By CNT Editors

It’s inevitable: every spring when we pull together the Hot List, our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of travelling the globe – to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage – it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali . We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List cruise winners for 2024.

Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity is a premium big-ship cruise brand, focusing on exquisite dining, cutting-edge amenities, Instagram-worthy public spaces chock-full of bespoke art pieces, and avant-garde onboard entertainment. The ship makes passengers feel, in a word, glamorous. Celebrity Ascent’s sumptuously designed interiors are flooded with natural light and evoke an air of playful sophistication that makes a week on board an escape worth cherishing. Passengers may find themselves longing to return for just one more succulent crab claw at Raw on 5, one more martini poured by bottle-spinning bartenders in the Martini Bar, or one more dazzling, acrobatic stage show, in the days following their farewells to this beautiful ship. From around £574 per person for a seven-night sailing. Scott Laird

Emerald Sakara, Emerald Cruises

Now with two oceangoing vessels joining Emerald’s more established fleet of nine river-dedicated “Star-Ships,” the decade-old cruise line is extending a brand built on unpretentious luxury to more corners of the world. Christened last August , the 100-guest superyacht, Sakara, is a near twin to Azzurra, which in 2022 ushered in a new era for Emerald by taking to the high seas. Sakara, like its sister, delightfully blurs the line between the luxury and ultra-luxury cruise categories, offering attentive service, gourmet cuisine, tasteful decor, and an eclectic slate of activities at a price point friendly to more budgets. The cherry on top with both superyachts is a slew of perks atypical of small-ship sailing, ranging from an impressively comprehensive spa to a marina platform well equipped for more fun in the sun. Despite having so much good stuff, each vessel is remarkably spacious. Getting a sense of being on a private yacht is easy like Sunday morning. Sakara is homeported in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean through at least March 2026; Azzurra, too, in addition to the Middle East, Kenya, and the Seychelles . Emerald’s river operations are based in Europe and Southeast Asia. (Note that a third ship, the Kaia, has just been announced by the cruise line; it debuts in April 2026, and, for all the early birds, it is now open for bookings.) From around £3,112. David Dickstein

Explora I, Explora Journeys

With a showpiece lobby bar, upscale restaurants, and a sultry infinity pool, Explora Journeys' relaxed luxury-resort-at-sea vibe strikes the perfect balance on Explora I. Launched in August 2023, the all-inclusive ship is disarmingly beautiful. A sleek navy blue exterior cocoons 461 suites, all with deep balconies, walk-in closets, and marble bathrooms. There is free-flowing Champagne, 7,500 square feet of wellness space, and 18 drinking and dining venues. From Emporium Marketplace, with its decadent raw bar, to pan-Asian restaurant Sakura, the dining on Explora I is sensational. Marble & Co. Grill is an intimate steakhouse where ageing meats hang in temperature-controlled cabinets. At Anthology, the ship's only supplementary restaurant, guest chefs – such as Claude Le Tohic of San Francisco's O' by Claude Le Tohic – curate sublime tasting menus. There's more: The only Rolex boutique at sea, huge hot tubs, and a shore program that sees some land experiences developed in partnership with revered explorer Mike Horn. From around £564 per person per night. Kerry Spencer

Icon of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International

Aboard the Icon, you can really get lost. The behemoth is just plain big, with a capacity for nearly 8,000 when combining passengers and crew across 20 decks and 250,800 gross tons. Two and a half laps around the ship’s jogging track, a particular highlight onboard, and you’ve run a mile. So one can find themselves in need of a map – forgetting your sunscreen , for example, in your cabin is a bit of a chore depending on how far you’ve made it. But the abundance of things to do is also narcotic, and you feel a bit like a lotus-eater attempting to navigate it all while keeping your head. Amid the relentless entertainment, not to be missed are the top-notch performers present everywhere, from the Olympic-level aquatics show that you can watch from the windows of the speciality seafood restaurant should seating be elusive (it often is) to the cafeteria, where crewmembers dressed as food items sing songs reminding (commanding, actually, which is fabulous) passengers to wash their hands at sinks near the entrance. If you wish to enjoy the largest waterpark at sea, by the way, do what I did not and pack a swimsuit without zippers. From around £1,818 . Charlie Hobbs

MSC Euribia, MSC Cruises

Looking at a row of cruise ships in port, you'll spot MSC Euribia right away. She's covered bow to stern by an ocean-themed mural by German artist Alex Flämig that bears the hashtag #SaveTheSeas nodding to the MSC's dedication to sustainable cruising: the Italian cruise line aims to be net-zero by 2050. MSC Euribia brings it one step closer to that goal, as it's the fleet's greenest ship yet, operating on liquified natural gas (LNG) and running advanced water and waste treatment systems onboard. But enough with the technical details – this mega-ship is packed with activities and entertainment, with 10 restaurants, 21 bars, five pools, two performance venues, and a bevvy of family-friendly amenities, like an F1 simulator, a waterpark, and a bowling alley. More adult-oriented highlights include the MSC Aurea Spa, with a thermal suite outfitted with thalassotherapy pools, a salt cave, and a snow room, as well as the Helios Wine Maker bar for wine tastings. Itineraries from around £420. Stefanie Waldek

Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Cruise Line

The second entry in Norwegian Cruise Line’s new Prima Class, Viva is like an Irish twin of older sister Prima. There’s the same stateroom count at 1,586, done in pristine and pleasing neutrals, as well as familiarly tricked-out amenities like the zippy 1,400-foot go-kart racing track that undulates over-the-top decks. Importantly, the Ocean Walk, which my colleague Mercedes Bleth adored aboard the Prima, remains. But round two afforded the premier name in large-ship cruising a chance to tweak and perfect, with an influx of seating options both in the ship’s complimentary dining hall as well as on its myriad decks. Across from the signature “zero-waste” Metropolitan Bar, where yummy drinks are whipped up from the ship’s food waste (I particularly enjoy a buttery Croissant Mai-Tai, for which hardening pastries are boiled down into sweetening syrup; the same is done with banana peels) is an interactive piece of digital art 52 feet wide that sees butterflies flit beside passersby. Breezy class all around. From around £791. Charlie Hobbs

Oceania Vista, Oceania Cruises

Vista, Oceania’s first new ship in more than a decade and the first of its Allura Class, debuted with small but mighty upgrades to its previous ships: better stabilisers for a smoother sailing experience; stronger Wi-Fi; lighting and architecture designed to make the ship’s common spaces look and feel roomier; a resort-like pool deck; and balconies in every cabin. The real star of the show, though, is the food and beverage experience – Vista’s culinary program delivers on its promise of top-quality venues you’ll want to make the rounds at. New to the lineup are Ember, a steakhouse with decor straight out of Napa Valley , and Aquamar Kitchen, serving up lighter fare that doesn’t skimp on taste. Celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or a just-because occasion with the Cellar Masters Wine Luncheon, a five-course meal and wine pairing. And don’t miss the elaborate sea day brunch, where towers of lobster, crab, and caviar await. Of course, the ship is just one destination. This year, Vista is splitting time between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean; next year, it will venture farther into Europe with ports of call like Istanbul , Stockholm, and Klaipeda, Lithuania. Its sister ship, Allura, sets sail in 2025. From around £2,182. Madison Flager

Scenic Eclipse II, Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours

The eagerly awaited Scenic Eclipse II is the new and improved version of Scenic's first expedition vessel, Scenic Eclipse. Dubbed "discovery yachts" for their sleek look and top-tier service, the sisters are nearly identical, with most changes so subtle that most guests might not even notice them, such as the slight enlargement of the steam room in the spa. But a big difference can be found on deck 10, where a plunge pool with jets for simulated lap swimming has taken the place of two hot tubs – and there's a new Sky Bar up here. Otherwise, Scenic Eclipse II has the same beloved amenities of its sister, most notably 10 exceptional dining experiences, from a sushi bar to a French restaurant with an attached Champagne bar; a 5,920-square-foot spa; two helicopters; and a submersible. Capable of sailing all over the world, including the polar regions, Scenic Eclipse II has itineraries for every type of traveller. From around £6,025. Stefanie Waldek

Seabourn Pursuit, Seabourn Cruise Line

Pursuit is a small, “yacht-like” expedition ship with a distinct green exterior whose destinations range from Antarctica to warmer climes like the Kimberley in Australia. The decadent cabins, bigger than some standard hotel rooms, feel spacious and relaxing, complete with all the subtle touches that make you feel immediately at home. You can hang your evening attire in the walk-in closet and dry your wet swimwear – or damp Arctic expedition gear – in the built-in warming compartment; have sunrise breakfasts or sunset cocktails mixed at the in-room wet bar on your private balcony; and sleep in a plush, queen-sized bed. But what truly sets this cruise apart is the attentive and personable staff who quickly learn your name and personal preferences, providing VIP treatment throughout the journey. From around £8,729. Taylor Eisenhauer

Seven Seas Grandeur, Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Ports in the Caribbean, the Greek islands , and the Riviera might be the draw, but the all-inclusive luxury line Regent Seven Seas Cruises produces ships that have travellers looking forward to those days at sea, as its sixth offering, Grandeur, further proves. All of the 372 suites, which start at a roomy 307 square feet, are decorated in calming neutral blues and beige, and feature furnished balconies; most have L'Occitane bubbles for the marble tub. Quiet comfort can also be had in the Serene Spa & Wellness outdoor lounge area, following a massage on a quartz crystal bed that mimics the feel of warm sand. Cravings for a porterhouse or a vegetarian Salisbury steak can be sated by Prime 7, with other venues serving speciality pan-Asian cuisine, French fare, ample buffets, and Italian offerings. Mainstay Compass Rose has been reimagined as a light, airy space where diners breakfast under playfully elegant pillars that resemble crystal trees. Grandeur's whimsy extends to its reception area, where guests can check out Journey in Jewels, the Fabergé egg made specifically for the vessel, where it will remain for the rest of its jewelled ovoid days. The maximum number of 744 guests ensures unhurried service and uncrowded environs as you recover from a sunny day of swimming with Caribbean pigs. From around £3798. Alexandra Sanidad

Silver Nova, Silversea Cruises

A voyage on Silversea’s latest ship, Silver Nova, is one of taste and style. With expansive glass features throughout each of the 11 decks, and an ocean-facing saltwater swimming pool , the ship’s unique asymmetrical design leaves room for adults to run and play (with swank, of course). The Nova’s reimagined culinary experience, SALT (Sea and Land Taste), is the first large-scale, regional restaurant at sea, and acts as an invitation to guests to experience more than an excursion. While initially introduced on Silver Moon, the Nova’s SALT program includes SALT Lab by day: an intimate cooking class with highly acclaimed chefs and regional cuisine recipes inspired by the next destination. With one nightly seating, SALT Chef's Table offers an exclusive and creatively interactive dining experience. It’s all very intimate – as chefs showcase the art of their crafts firsthand, guests peek into a new culture and place before even disembarking. From around £2465. Jessica Chapel

Viking Aton, Viking River Cruises

In the style of all Viking ships, the Rottet Studio – designed Aton is intended for comfortable and thought-provoking exploration – just look to the book-filled shelves in the cabins, curated by London’s Heywood Hill library, and the revolving door of on-board lecturers (on my trip, an English curator spoke about the evolving depictions of Egypt in 1900s popular art). It should be no surprise that in a destination as rich and storied as Egypt ’s Nile, where the Aton is permanently based, the guides set apart what may read as a quintessential itinerary. On the Pharaohs & Pyramids journey, which takes travellers from the Valley of the Kings, where King Tut lies, to the Great Pyramid of Giza and well beyond over 12 days, esteemed Egyptologists oscillate from translating hieroglyphics on temple walls in real-time to shepherding travellers through modern night markets with endless fervour. On this ship it isn’t just what you see but how much you listen – and the team here, predominantly Egyptian, has much to say. These days, travellers crave perspective-altering experiences more than ever; get on the Aton, and you’ll get once-in-a-lifetime access (until that is, your next Aton sailing). From around £4849. Megan Spurrell

Resilient Lady, Virgin Voyages

Stepping onto Resilient Lady feels a bit like heading to summer camp. The massive vessel is like a giant playground for adults, which is why it draws a fun-loving crowd. Theme night parties, a nostalgic arcade room, plenty of board games, and basketball courts are just a few of the seemingly limitless onboard activities. Compared with its sister ships, the newest Virgin Voyages addition includes upgraded onboard entertainment and exciting new ports of call like the Greek Islands, Bali, and Mumbai . Most of the shows on this specific ship are new to the line, such as Persephone, an interactive performance developed in collaboration with famed Brooklyn nightclub House of Yes, and Another Rose, an immersive dinner experience. Dining options are abundant on the ship – 20-plus to be exact – and all of them are included with every passenger ticket. Plus, you can’t miss out on a visit to the several different sauna experiences in the Thermal Suite inside the Redemption Spa. From around £1616 . Rachel Dube

World Voyager, Atlas Ocean Voyages

There are superbly comfortable spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows aplenty on World Voyager, the latest vessel from Atlas Ocean Voyages. On an Antarctica expedition, you might watch turquoise icebergs float by from the sauna or the spa’s relaxation room, with its heated loungers perfectly positioned in front of a wall of glass. Back in your cosy stateroom, Champagne and strawberries await, as do the views from a Juliet or walkout balcony. The look throughout the 100 cabins and public spaces is Scandinavian modern, thanks to blond woods, marble floors, plush carpets in geometric patterns, and curvaceous furniture draped in velvety fabrics. In the elegant dining room, the focus is on international cuisine with a farm-to-table slant – think mushroom risotto and smoked duck with chargrilled vegetables. Meanwhile, the multipage cocktail menu beckons guests to a pair of spacious lounges. Blending yacht-style elegance and boutique-resort intimacy, this is a ship where you can make new friends easily but also retreat to a favourite spot to enjoy high tea in peaceful solitude while awaiting details from the crew on the adventures that lie ahead. From around £1495. Celeste Moure
