How to knock down bird nests in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

When you come across a birdhouse, you'll need to crouch down. In the game, Henry can throw rocks if he is in stealth mode. While this ability is primarily used to distract enemies, you'll need to use the stones as an actual projectile here. This means your accuracy with them will need to be sharper.

When crouched down, hit R1/RB (on consoles) and you'll throw a rock. While you probably won't hit the nests on your first try, you don't need to worry about running out of stones, as you have an infinite amount of them when in stealth. While trying to hit the target, the stone's trajectory will initially be a bit off. To ensure your accuracy, aim slightly towards the left of the bird shelter.

You should also ensure that the nest falls on flat ground since if it hits an uneven surface, it will roll off into the distance like a tumbleweed on an old empty Texan road.

If the nest starts tumbling away, you'll need to quickly catch up to it and mash the examine button to access the items or give chase until it stops.

Sometimes, however, if the branch with the nest is within your standing range, then you can directly look at it and press the interact button to acquire its contents.

• Lockpicks
• Eggs
• Bandages

Aside from these items, bird nests in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 also hold articles like jewelry, spectacles, and badges, which you can wear yourself or sell for cash.
