There's a recurring theme with birds through the game but I don't know how they link together. First we got introduced to Scrappy who gives us mats for crafting. Then duckies. Then bird city where they are described in codex as being there for nefarious reasons. Now we got lots of seagulls in riven tides and we tasked to complete a bird trap. If arc are sent by humans from out of space to gather materials, the parallel seems to be birds are sent out by raiders underground to gather materials too? Is there something about birds that we are missing out in the lore?
