Flock Around has 19 achievements, and most of them are tied to photo challenges, co op actions, bird behavior, and full collection progress across Goose Lake. Some unlock almost immediately, while the hardest ones are connected to completing the guidebook and finishing every major photo category for every bird.

How To Get All Achievements In Flock Around

To unlock all achievements in Flock Around, you need to earn stars, complete simple photo challenges, play in co op, upgrade your camera and binoculars fully, and finish the full Goose Lake bird photo collection including poses, 3 star photos, and Shiny photos.

The list starts easy and then ramps hard into completion work. Early achievements mostly come from normal play and messing around with the camera. The late ones are the real grind, especially the Goose Lake collection set.

Easy Achievements You Can Unlock Early

A good chunk of the list should come naturally in the first stretch of the game.

Gold Star!
Gain your first star.

Is There Fall Damage?
Fall from a great height.

Twinsies
Capture 2 of the same species of bird in one shot.

Please Do Not Do This In Real Life
Feed seeds to a bird.

SO LOUD
Use the same bird whistle 10 times in 10 seconds.

That's A Keeper
Save or Copy a Photo.

Photo Spammer
Take 20 photos in 20 seconds.

These are the cleanup achievements that should be done right away if they do not happen on their own. None of them look complicated. Most are simple action checks, and a few can be forced in under a minute once you know what they want.

Co Op Achievements

Flock Around has 2 achievements directly connected to another player.

Better Together
Play Flock Around with another person.

Hey Buddy :)
Take a picture of a friend.

These are straightforward. Start a session with another player, then get a photo of them. If the goal is fast cleanup, these 2 should be done in the same session.

Bird Photo Challenge Achievements

These sit in the middle of the list and feel like the first real progression layer beyond simple joke achievements.

Love Birds
Capture 2 birds of opposite sex in the same shot.

Walked Around
Capture photos of one bird from each biome in Goose Lake.

Sightseeing in Goose Lake
Photograph all the Points of Interest in Goose Lake.

These are more route based than difficult. Walked Around pushes you across the whole map, and Sightseeing in Goose Lake looks like the achievement that makes you fully sweep the area instead of staying focused only on birds.

Upgrade Achievements

There are 2 gear completion achievements.

Fully Loaded Binos
Obtain every binocular upgrade.

Fully Loaded Camera
Obtain every camera upgrade.

These are pure progression and upgrade cleanup. If you are aiming for 100 percent, these should be treated as mandatory before the hardest collection achievements, because better tools will likely make the full bird photo grind easier.

Cosmetic Achievement

Dripped Out
Equip a cosmetic in every slot.

This one is simple once enough cosmetic slots and items are available. It is an inventory check more than a skill check.

The Big Goose Lake Completion Achievements

This is where the achievement list gets serious. These are the ones that turn the game from a casual photo hunt into a full collection run.

Big Year in Goose Lake
Obtain at least 1 guidebook photo of every bird in Goose Lake.

Giant Year in Goose Lake
Obtain all 4 pose photos of every bird in Goose Lake.

Enormous Year in Goose Lake
Obtain 3 star photos of all 4 poses of every bird in Goose Lake.

Shiny Birds of Goose Lake
Capture a Shiny photo of every bird in Goose Lake.

These are the hardest achievements in the game based on the unlock rates alone. Big Year is the baseline full bird checklist. Giant Year pushes that into pose completion. Enormous Year goes even further by requiring 3 star quality across all 4 poses for every bird. Shiny Birds of Goose Lake is its own full collection layer on top.

That means the real endgame is not just finding each bird once. It is building a complete, high quality bird photo library across every required category.

Best Order To Finish The Achievement List

The cleanest route is to knock out the fast achievements first, then use the rest of the run to build toward Goose Lake completion.

A strong order looks like this:

clear the easy action achievements first
do the 2 co op achievements in one session
finish biome and point of interest coverage
complete all camera and binocular upgrades
clean up cosmetics
work on every bird guidebook entry
finish all 4 poses for every bird
upgrade that into 3 star pose coverage
finish the full Shiny bird collection

That order keeps the simple achievements from cluttering the end of the run and leaves the real grind for last, where it belongs.

Which Achievements Will Take The Longest

The slowest part of the list is clearly the Goose Lake completion group.

Big Year in Goose Lake is the first full collection wall. Giant Year in Goose Lake raises that into pose completion. Enormous Year in Goose Lake is likely the biggest time sink overall because it combines full coverage with quality requirements. Shiny Birds of Goose Lake is also a major chase because it requires a special version of every bird instead of just standard documentation.

Those 4 are the core of the 100 percent run.

Final Blurb

Flock Around has a clean achievement list early, then turns into a full Goose Lake completion challenge by the end. The fast unlocks are mostly simple actions, co op checks, and small photo tasks, but the real work starts once the guidebook, pose photos, 3 star photos, and Shiny bird collection take over. Finish the easy cleanup first, fully upgrade your tools, then treat the rest of the run like a structured bird completion checklist.
