Broodwing Tier List (November 2026): Every Roblox Bird Ranked by Playstyle, Not Fake DPS
No official Broodwing tier list exists — so pick your bird by playstyle instead: nest, hunt, parasite, or scavenger, with zero invented DPS numbers.
Every guide promising a Broodwing tier list stacked with S-tier picks and DPS numbers is guessing, because the game publishes none of it. Broodwing, the bird-family survival sim by Realistics Studios, lives on its official Roblox listing and runs on desktop, console, mobile, and tablet. So this Broodwing tier list takes the honest route: instead of inventing letter grades, it ranks the six playable birds by playstyle — nesting, hunting, brood parasitism, and scavenging — so you can pick the bird that matches the hour you actually want to play.
That distinction matters. Roblox animal sims train players to scan a letter chart before spawning in, and letters copied from the wrong game send you into a match with the wrong expectations entirely.
Is There an Official Broodwing Tier List?
No — and that's the first fact any useful Broodwing tier list has to state out loud. Place 116189555550783 does not publish S-to-C letters, win rates, or damage values. The game's store listing describes flying, hunting fish and bunnies, nesting, eggs, chicks, and family roleplay. Even "more birds coming soon" is a roster promise, not a meta patch note. Everything below reflects the November 3, 2026 listing check.
What fills the gap? Community reports — player experience shared through the game's Discord community. Those recaps describe behavior verbs: Bald Eagle as a predator, the goose as a grazer, the Raven as a scavenger. Verbs describe what a bird does. They are not multipliers, and they are not a substitute for stats the game has never shown.

Why letter grades need a sort key
Editorial wikis usually grade characters against a number the game actually displays — a damage stat, a health bar, a win rate. Broodwing displays none of those on the bird select screen, so there's nothing to sort against. Without a sort key, letters are decoration. If a future update ships an in-game rank screen, an honest Broodwing tier list will follow that HUD. Until then, a chart printing invented damage numbers for the Duck is fan fiction, and it should be treated that way.
The Public Six, Ranked by Playstyle
Six birds are confirmed on the select screen as of the November check. Here's the full framework — a playstyle ranking, not a power ranking:
| Bird | Best playstyle | What community reports support | What it is not |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duck | Nest and raise | A maintained adult body with cosmetic color passes | A hidden HP tank |
| Canadian Goose | Nest and graze | Renamed from "Goose" per an October 23 Discord recap | A secret stat buff |
| Gosling | Hatch-and-grow start form | The grow path available since launch | C-tier "because baby" |
| Bald Eagle | Predator hunt | Cannot graze; hunts fish, bunnies, later-reported mice | A confirmed OP pick |
| Cuckoo | Brood parasitism | Lays eggs and chicks into host nests | Broken, or a gimmick |
| Raven | Scavenger / nest threat | Called unfinished at launch; later reported killing a chick | A published damage number |
Three notes before you lock a pick:
- Gosling is a start form, not a downgrade. Ranking it low "because it's a baby" is a category error — growth is the whole point of the chick system.
- Food verbs are not multipliers. "Predator" and "grazer" describe diet and behavior, not hit strength.
- Canadian Goose is the current name. Older charts that say "Goose" refer to the same bird.
Best Bird for Your First Hour
If you searched for the "best Broodwing bird," you probably want a first session that flows the way the game intends: land to collect, hunt, nest, feed. The beginner loop leans on nesting, and the roster is built around it. Match the bird to the hour you want, not to a letter somebody invented.
| If your hour is... | Pick | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Raising chicks in your own nest | Duck, Canadian Goose, or Gosling | Matches the core nest-eggs-chicks loop |
| Hunting fish, bunnies, or mice | Bald Eagle | Predator verb; it cannot graze, so it must hunt |
| Ruining someone else's nest | Cuckoo | Brood parasitism is the entire kit |
| Opportunistic scavenging | Raven | Scavenger verb plus chick-threat reports |
| Family roleplay with friends | Any of the public six your flock flies | The listing sells family play, not a meta |
Nest-first players: Duck, Goose, or Gosling
All three names get treated in community recaps as nest/graze/grow bodies rather than parasite or scavenger threats. Duck has received cosmetic color passes, which at least confirms it's maintained as a first-class adult body. The Canadian Goose carries grazer notes from the October 23 recap. None of that amounts to a DPS buff — it simply means these birds sit at the center of the game's core loop.
Bald Eagle is a different hour
Fly the Bald Eagle when you want predator hunting — fish, bunnies, and (per later community reports) mice — not because a fan chart stamped it S-tier. One recap noted eagles killing smaller birds, which reads as a PvP warning for nest players rather than a stat. If your goal is ruining someone else's nest from the inside, skip the Eagle and read the next section instead.
Cuckoo and Raven: Threat Roles, Not Letter Grades
Both birds change the game for nest players, but in completely different ways. A useful Broodwing tier list keeps them in the threat column rather than fusing them into a single invented "raid S-tier" — that's exactly how made-up metas start.
| Your goal | Bird decision | Why it's social, not a stat |
|---|---|---|
| Raise chicks in your own nest | Pick Duck, Goose, or Gosling instead | Host play is a different loop |
| Run family RP on one shared nest | Agree on roles before anyone spawns | Surprise parasitism wrecks the session |
| Chase "the best bird" | Stop — no official best exists | The framework above is the answer |
Reading Cuckoo correctly
Pick Cuckoo when you intend brood parasitism — eggs and chicks placed into a host nest. Don't pick it because a thumbnail called it broken, and don't skip it because a fake C-tier board dismissed it as a gimmick. If you're the one nesting as a Duck or a Goose, the same information flips: Cuckoo becomes a threat you guard against, which is why dedicated nest guides tell host players to watch for it.
Reading Raven correctly
Two community reports, both true on different dates: a beginner recap called the Raven the closest kit to unfinished, with little to do besides nest at the time, while a later hollow-nest recap showed a Raven killing a chick. A launch snapshot also counted zero public Raven nests against several Bald Eagle nests — a one-session population snapshot, not a balance patch. Treat Raven as scavenger play if you fly it, and as a nest-and-baby threat if you nest against it.
Future Birds and Fake Charts: What Actually Changes the Ranking
New birds change the roster, not a rank board that never existed. Barn Owl, Swan, Mute Swan, Black Swan, Greylag goose, and mallard all circulate as unverified extras — visible in server prefixes like [Swan] and [BarnOwl] and in community chatter, but not yet confirmed on the select screen.
| Signal | What it is | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| Barn Owl report (mice, screech, hollows, owlets) | A possible extra kit with hunt prey | An automatic S-tier predator |
| Swan / Mute Swan / Black Swan reports | Possible extra kit; one recap claimed little kit difference | Three secret power ranks |
| Greylag goose / mallard names | Likely aliases of Goose and Duck | Extra top rows |
| Melanistic / Leucistic Duck (250 Robux) | Cosmetic color passes | Paid damage tiers |
| Leucistic Bald Eagle (450 Robux) | Cosmetic recap carried over from Village Survival | A paid buff |
Five checks before you trust any chart
Most low-effort charts fail for predictable reasons. Run this list before believing any Broodwing tier list you find:
- Open bird select and copy the names you actually see.
- Choose nest, hunt, parasite, or scavenger play before choosing a bird.
- Refuse charts that print made-up damage numbers.
- Keep Cuckoo and Raven in the threat column, not a fake S row.
- Park unverified extras (Barn Owl, swans, Greylag, mallard) until they appear on select.
Two failures show up constantly. Wrong franchise: search results mix in Power Rangers S.P.D.'s Broodwing and Subnautica creature chatter — other properties entirely, neither of which ranks Roblox birds. Invented numbers: any chart printing exact damage or HP values copied its format from a different game, because Broodwing has shown no such HUD stat. Cosmetic passes and unverified Plume codes don't make the Duck "more meta" either — paste codes if a Codes button exists, then come back to playstyle.
FAQ
Is there an official Broodwing tier list?
No. Place 116189555550783 publishes no S-to-C letters, win rates, or damage values. Any honest Broodwing tier list is a playstyle framework — exactly what this page is — until Realistics Studios ships an in-game rank screen.
What is the best Broodwing bird for beginners?
There's no official best, but the nest hour suits new players best: Duck, Canadian Goose, or Gosling. Prefer hunting? Bald Eagle. Brood parasitism? Cuckoo. Scavenging? Raven.
Is the Bald Eagle overpowered?
Unknown. Community reports describe a predator that can kill smaller birds, but no damage number was ever published, so "overpowered" can't be measured today.
Should I pick Cuckoo to win?
Pick Cuckoo to play brood parasitism — that's its role. Winning isn't a published ranked mode in Broodwing, so there's nothing to optimize a "win pick" against.
