11Overview22Bird Meat is a cooking ingredient in Crimson Desert classified under the Meat category of gatherables. It comes from larger avian creatures and has a tender texture with a mild meaty aroma that pairs well with any dish. Bird Meat is the heavier counterpart to Lean Bird Meat, yielding richer cuts from bigger game birds.55In-Game Description77"Pairs well with any dish due to its tender texture and mild meaty aroma. Fits various recipes perfectly with its delicate profile."99Item Properties1111PropertyValueTypeGatherable / Cooking IngredientCategoryMeatHow to ObtainSkinning large birds, Butchery vendorsUsed InCooking recipes requiring bird meat1313Where to Find1414Bird Meat is acquired through two methods:1616Skinning Large Birds: Hunt and skin large birds in the open world. Bigger avian species such as eagles and hawks yield Bird Meat when processed. These creatures are rarer than the small birds that provide Lean Bird Meat, so expect to search more carefully.Butchery Vendors: Purchase from butcheries in major settlements. The butcher in Hernand stocks Bird Meat alongside other poultry cuts.1818Large birds tend to roam mountainous terrain and open plateaus across the continent. They can often be spotted circling overhead before landing. A ranged attack while they are airborne or grounded will bring them down for skinning.2020Cooking Uses2222Bird Meat functions as a versatile cooking ingredient. Its mild flavor and tender texture make it compatible with a wide range of recipes. Like other raw meat types, Bird Meat can be grilled at a bonfire for a straightforward Health recovery meal. It also works in combination recipes that call for poultry, producing dishes with moderate healing and occasional status buffs.2424For the full catalog of meals you can prepare, check the Recovery Items page.2626Tips2828Bird Meat and Lean Bird Meat come from different-sized birds. If you only find small flocks, you will get Lean Bird Meat instead.Butcheries restock periodically, so return regularly to top up your supply without needing to hunt.Grilling Bird Meat at a bonfire is one of the fastest ways to produce healing provisions while exploring remote regions.Visit the Meats and Grains page for a comparison of all meat types and their sources.3030Pet Taming Use3232Bird Meat is a top-tier preferred food for taming dogs. Dropped on the ground next to a wild dog and followed by a short petting loop, a single Bird Meat feed raises Companion Trust by roughly 35 points, the highest trust payout available on the common food tier. Most dog breeds respond to it, including the Husky and Jindo spawns that patrol the farming villages, which means a single stack of Bird Meat covers almost every dog on the Pet Taming Guide roster. Combined with the daily five-interaction cap, one or two Bird Meat feeds plus a petting interaction is usually enough to take a dog tame from a cold start to 100 trust inside a single in-game day.3434Bird Meat also plays a secondary role for Cat tames once it is cooked. Grilled bird meat and salt-roasted bird meat are both listed among the best preferred foods for cats on the Companion Affection Guide, so a single stockpile of raw Bird Meat can cover dog taming, cat taming, and general cooking by running the raw item through a campfire or kitchen before dropping it.3636Where to Get Bird Meat3838Hunting wild birds is the most direct source. Any bird brought down in the field can be skinned for Bird Meat, which stacks cleanly with butcher purchases and keeps the stockpile topped up during normal travel.Town butchers carry Bird Meat alongside other meats on their rotating restock. Most major-town butchers sell between one and two stacks per restock cycle, so a travel loop across several butchers fills a long taming session without any field hunting.Cooking for cats converts raw Bird Meat into grilled or salt-roasted variants that count as preferred food for Companions on the feline side. Keeping a small cooking reserve of five to ten cooked pieces ready for a cat-taming trip avoids having to cook mid-session.39+Hunting large birds and skinning them is the recorded field source for Bird Meat.
