So, similar to a previous post from January 2015, (and which had no answers for the problem), I too have run into an issue with the Bird in Hand quest. Quite simply: the quest doesn't exist for me. I have all of the prerequisits (I'm lvl 54, I belong to an FC with housing and I have completed the My Little Chocobo and My Feisty Little Chocobo Quests). There are absolutely no quests in Bent Branch Meadows for me at this time and I have even gone so far as to retrace my steps back to previous quest givers for the prerequisites listed above to see if they offer anything else. If anyone has any information that can help me, I would be so appreciative. I set aside this day to spend time dyeing my chocobo and ran smack into this problem.
