Find Your Heraldic Bird Walkthrough

Background

Starting on Day 2, you can meet a working class woman in front of the Doomed Commercial Area (#1). If you insist that her husband is missing — or her daughters, or her cockatoo — then she’ll call you a cockatoo. If you ask her about the birds, then you’ll trigger this task.

Walkthrough

The working class woman will suggest that you to look up cockatoos in the bookstore in the Doomed Commercial Area. Inside, if you ask Plaisance about cockatoos, then she’ll direct you to the upper level of the shop, where you’ll find the book From A to Zrieek! A Guide to Cockatoos. It’ll cost you 3.99 real to buy it, or you can steal it by passing an Interfacing check.

When you read the book, you’ll be allowed to choose a cockatoo. This will give you a point for one of the four copotypes, which are associated with a thought (you’ll need to gain four points in a copotype to unlock its thought). This is summarized in the table below:

Cockatoo	Copotype	Thought
Bang-Bang Cockatoo	Boring Cop	Regular Law Official
F**kupatoo	Sorry Cop	Rigorous Self-Critique
Funeral Cockatoo	Apocalypse Cop	Cop of the Apocalypse
Major Majestic Cockatoo	Superstar Cop	Some Kind of Superstar

Regardless of your choice, you’ll earn 10 xp for completing the task.

Note: You’re not limited to one copotype. You can unlock all four copotype thoughts if you spread your dialogue around.
