Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
On a "normal" turn, one sees something like this in the game-status bar:
"Round 2 Turn 5/7 [Play a bird] [Gain food] [Lay eggs on birds] [Draw bird cards]"
However, with turns that come from other players' birds, there is less consistency. For example, on the above table, I've loaded the table to see this:
"Choose [die] from birdfeeder (1 remaining)"
...which leaves me panning around and reading through the log to figure out what's going on.
I suggest more consistency here; something that might help is "{Player}'s {bird name}: {instruction}"
So, on the above table, this would let me see "digismo's Ruby-Throated Hummingbird: Choose [die] from birdfeeder (1 remaining)"• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Report history
"Pileated Woodpecker: may lay [egg] on one bird with [icon] nest"
At least this text tells me what bird is giving me this opportunity. But, as with the example above, I think that seeing my opponent's name in the action bar would help.
I welcome constructive criticism and refinements to this idea.
for example:
Western Meadowlark: may lay [egg] on one bird with [nest] nest
would be much clearer with
Western Meadowlark: [You] may lay [egg] on one bird with [nest] nest
When playing real-time, you might not realize it's your turn. Adding a You would make it clearer.
