    I only have a few entries as im not finding the random ones when others have so its just hard for me anyway heh

    To be clarify to all Hunters, from my experience, when any Hunter/s posted here to claim s/he found a hummingbird there.
    That's good as they tell us the location/s of where hummingbird was found (= 'from which page' of Topcashback's site)

    i.e

    I think I have clicked the link in the past, about four time so far, I did not find one till I tried it again few mins ago and got one.
    :beer:

    That's mean s/he gave me the right location but the difference is 'THE TIME' of catching it so up to Hunters to be patient & waiting [click here & there, if nothing, come back & try it again later]

    Important is to move somewhere to "sort of" specific locations (pages) rather than go run wild in whole of TCB's site as it'll take load of waste time/energy

    I was so mad addict with this game in the past, now I cool down due to I do not have the time! Recommend go to January Offers/Deals page as usual find one from one of those in the intereval time about hourly-ish. Hth

    Good luck with your hunting :)

    Is anyone finding with these comps (past hummingbird ones as well) that when you get up to around 200 entries, it gets harder to find a hummingbird? I imagine it will get harder still, or lots of people will end up with hundreds and hundreds of entries (?).

    I'm also finding that most of the hummingbirds appear for major high street-types of companies, or deals that are being promoted on the site. Click on something more obscure - say, something under Training & Recruitment - and you won't find a hummingbird there. Does that chime with what others here are experiencing?

    From my mad experience, no, you can carry on as it was seem normal to me as I waiting for a sweet (from previous game) as I was at around at 250 entries/draws till about 500 before I completed one section of sweet. £5 :j

    Then I was consider to attempt to break 1000 barrier as I do not see there are four figures in the green circle unless two possible ways, one is re-size font of numbers to make it allow to go further or this one which feared me most is it may over-clock and reset back to zero, I did not found as I was in 950 ish. :eek: Never do that again as I mentioned I was mad addict. No more now :p

    I think the hardest one to find a bird is "the time" is near to the closing hunting season (near to closing date especially three days or around there), not your board unless someone experienced different. Hth

    Good lucking with your hunting :)

    Another hints for any keen hunter here like I was :o

    I'm refer to PC, I do not know anything with different device such as iPad or Smartphone, etc

    Not bother to scroll the page further down where you hope to see a hummingbird... as I did that in previous games with my noviced hunter skill. :p

    I always turn wheel of mouse down one slight roll down, That is sufficient as that is a perfect view to watching out, it never flew in top area of page, yes rarely it across there but too fast to spot it (less than one second! as most of the time I noticed it came from left side of the screen and rarely from left-top corner, possible jerking or bug as it happened in previous game or down to my old monitor :()

    Top area is above green row banner with menu options and that is where became very thin green row banner at top of your screen when you did turn the wheel down slightly, then that is ideal area to watch out for it also to save your time by scroll down/up.

    Maybe you wonder when I bothered to do that?, as quite lot of hummingbirds flew then buzz around very close to the banner of "xxxx Treats" which pop up at the bottom before the bird came, I do not want click the banner by slight error then panic around..... my tip above always leave a good gap between area where bird buzzing around and "xxxx treat banner" and never saw it flew any further down unless I did miss all the way,,,,,

    In old game it buzz around various levels on my screen but this new game, most of them came to lower level which I relieved by using method I mentioned above. Of course I'm aware of every of us have different display resolution of screen, so my hint may not be helpful to some.

    I wonder if you clicked to move then saw the bird... Aaargh Panic, oh sh£& clicked backspace with hope over it will stay there. Nope it is Gone!! Ohhh F@%" ??? Tut, tut!! No worry as it did happened to me when I was mad on the game (old one)

    I panicked and go backspace. not there...oh...go back to the offer/deal page where I saw....Mmmm ohhh it is not there

    Ohh I think hard Hard...no stop.. breath relax.
    Okay I remember the page I visited before the page where I saw the bird so I go back two steps backward and clicked that page and to be honest with you, I do not expected see it and clicked next one and saw it in that way; I feel like asif I won Lottery!!! yay :j

    Last one, you found hummingbird from that page, I advice you not bother to go back to it again after waiting three day or later period based on my experience, I will be astonish if anyone can find bird from same page every day. If so please teach us of your hunting skill.

    Yes I am not raving on this game at the moment but who know if I will back one day later... ;)

    Good lucking with your hunting :)

    PS: Maybe you asking me how come I mad in first place not now, well in old game theme "sweet" I did not win anything so i carrying on on on ..till I won whereas last two games included this one. I clicked and suddenly won 10p so that is it (this one is one found and award me, last one I think about 5 to 7 attempt and award me 10p as I recalled unless I mistaked...they (TSB) award a / an award to per. That's why.

    In first game "Theme" "- "sweet treat" I have nothing but one more to go on any sweet..but nothing so made me go go go ...... you see what I mean..not like present games. Nevermind and Relived as well in so way? Catch 22 :rotfl:
