The golden warbler is a golden bird that players can capture with the Hunter skill at level 5 or above, granting 47 Hunter experience.

Catching one is a requirement for the Easy Desert Diary.

“	The golden warbler can be easily identified by its hideously annoying song. Although the warbler is prized by hunters for its fine feathers, it is probably caught just as much simply to shut it up.	”
	— William Oddity's Guide to the Avian

Hunting technique

A golden warbler being caught.

The hunting technique is the same as for other birds. Players must set up a bird snare and wait until a bird gets stuck in it. Players may repeatably use the same bird snare. Bird snares are available for purchase in Hunter shops.

Multiple traps

Bird snaring can be done with multiple traps at once, with the maximum number of traps depending on the player's Hunter level.

	Traps
1	1
20	2
40	3
60	4
80	5
