For each type of Fairyland Wildlife the following information is available:
Eats Tells you which types of food it eats. If you wish to attract this type of wildlife, you must leave out the right food for it!
How To Attract For most types of wildlife, you must grow the right types of plants to attract them to your garden. Important: plants have zero attraction power whilst they are still growing or if they are wilting.
How To Keep Out If you want to deter a certain type of wildlife from entering your Garden, there are sometimes certain plants that can help you (again, they will not have any effect whilst still growing or wilting.) These plants aren't 100% guaranteed to prevent that type of wildlife from entering your garden, but will certainly reduce the chances of it coming.
Average Visit Time This tells you how long this type of wildlife usually stays in your Garden whilst feeding. This is the time during which it can be spotted - the shorter the average length of stay, the harder it will be to spot!
Common or Rare? Gives you an idea of whether this type of wildlife is common or rare in Fairyland, and therefore how difficult it is to attract. Even if you have all the right plants/food in your Garden, it may still take a few attempts to attract the rare ones, and even more attempts to actually spot them!
Reward If Spotted Whenever wildlife is spotted, there is a Diamond reward! The amount of Diamonds earned depends upon the difficulty of spotting that type of wildlife (so for example, rarer ones which only stay for short periods of time will earn the most Diamonds when spotted.)
The Diamonds are awarded to both the spotter, and also to the Garden Owner (unless you spot it in your own Garden - in which case you only get the reward once rather than twice!)
Additionally, if this is the first time this particular type of wildlife has been spotted in this Garden, the Diamond reward is doubled! For any wildlife which visits your Garden without being spotted, there is no reward.

General Tips and Advice
- Friends: Wildlife can only be spotted when a plant is watered, so the more friends you have helping out in your Garden around the clock, the higher the chance that the wildlife you attract will be spotted. Encourage your friends to join Fairyland so you can help spot wildlife in each others Gardens!
- Patience: It will take time, effort, patience, skill and luck to attract/spot all the different types of wildlife, so please don't expect to be able to do it all in the first week or even month! The achievement of eventually spotting the rarest animals will be worth it :)
- Growing Plants: Plants have zero attraction effect whilst they are in their initial growth phase. They only have effect whilst fully grown / flowering (or sometimes whilst they are bearing fruit.)
- Wilting Plants: Plants have zero attraction effect whilst they are wilting.
- Doubling Up Flowers: Growing multiple of the same flower will increase the overall attraction power. You will need to do this to attract the rarer wildlife!
- Doubling Up Food: You can have up to 2 feeding tables in your Garden, but it's important to note that leaving double food out doesn't mean double attraction power for rare animals - it just means that double the amount of wildlife will come in the same time period. You still need to grow your plants wisely in order to attract the rare ones!
- Using The Right Feeding Table: Using the correct feeding table is very important! Many wildlife can only reach the low table - so you won't get them visiting if you only have their food out on the raised tables. But if the wildlife you're trying to attract is able to feed from either table, then it's often best to use the raised one, because the the competition from other wildlife will be less (for example, neither white mice nor pygmy mice can reach the raised table :) [Hint: All Mythological wildlife can feed from either table, so to increase your chances, use the raised table when attracting them!]
- Timing: There's no point in having expensive food in your Garden if you don't time it with the right flowers to attract interesting wildlife - it will just be eaten by mice!
- Keeping Out Mice: Magical Mushrooms (whilst "Fully Grown" - but not when "Ready For Harvest") will help to deter mice from your Garden (with varying degrees of success!) The other thing you must do is grow the right plants to ensure maximum attraction for other animals, and hope that they get there first before the mice!
- Your Own Garden: You can spot wildlife in your own Garden, but you only get the reward once. It is credited to your "Wildlife spotted in your Garden" total, but not to your "Wildlife spotted in other Gardens" total.
- Concentrate Your Efforts: If you plant lots of different flowers, trying to attract lots of different wildlife at once, you may find that the attraction power for each type of wildlife is so weak that you end up only attracting mice! So focus your efforts on attracting one type of wildlife at a time by growing several of the plants which attract it. (Remember that to attract some types of wildlife, you may find that you also need to grow plants to help keep other wildlife out!)
- Planning Ahead: Remember that plants have zero effect (positive or negative) whilst still growing, so whilst attracting one type of wildlife, you can already start growing plants in preparation for the next thing you want to try attracting (a good idea if it's a long-growing bonsai!)
- Wilt Balance: Putting food out on a table is treated like planting a seed - you will only be allowed to do it if your wilt balance allows! (More information about how your Wilt Balance works can be found in your Garden - scroll down and on the right hand side you'll see the "Wilt Balance" section.)
