In Split Fiction’s third chapter, Hopes of Spring, you have some shapeshifting abilities to help you traverse the area and solve the puzzles. Mio can gain strength by becoming a mighty gorilla, or swim by becoming an otter… fish… dog… thing, while Zoe can become light and airy as a fairy, or control the forest itself as a tree.

Split Fiction: Where To Find Every Bench
There are six different benches spread across the chapters for Mio and Zoe to sit on.
When it comes to the bird puzzle, where three bird eggs sit by a locked door, you’ll need Zoe in tree form while Mio becomes a gorilla. The solution to this one is effective, but it’s unfortunately not all that pretty. Sorry little birdies.
How To Solve The Bird Puzzle
In the Lord Evergreen section of Splt Fiction’s Hopes of Springs (after the Train Heist Side Story), there will be an array of tools that seem to fit together. In the far corner, you have three birds, one of which is partially hatched. You also have a seesaw and a large tree trunk, which seem connected to each other but little else, and a locked door in the form of a boarded up tree cavern. Obviously, the challenge is to open the locked door, but it’s not immediately straight forward how to do it.
The first thing is that Mio must be an ape, while Zoe should be the tree person. Let’s do Zoe’s job first, as it’s simple. However, it does rely on timing. As a tree, Zoe should pull the log back as far as it will go, and hold it. Now for Mio’s role. She must pick up the egg (it doesn’t matter which one) and place it on the seesaw. It should be on the side that is parrallel to the log, ie the one next to the door, ie the one in the ‘middle’ as you look at the area from the entrance.
Mio should then go to the other side of the seesaw. Then with her monkey strength, slam down. This will send the egg shooting up. If Zoe releases the log at the right time, it will swing forward and smash the door down. This not only destroys the barrier, but fully hatches the bird. So it’s actually a good deed clobbering that baby bird.
If Zoe mistimes the release, just set it up again. There’s no hard fail for this puzzle.
With the door open, you can continue onwards with Splt Fiction, but if you want to grab every Achievement/Trophy in the game, you unfortunately aren’t done hurting birds just yet.
