Also sorry for further confusion and clarification - do you mean that's one option, or that they outright won't be able to find the Meadowlark bird via searches for 'yellow + dark V' unless they first realize birds are significant? My big concern is that I just don't think anybody does think they're significant ICly, esp not related to this search, so this will remain a big dead end IC for now.
Mostly asking if they can vague search > maybe birds > introduce birds to the convo > get people talking about other random connections, realizing maybe birds are a Thing and watching out for more clues in the future
or does it have to be vague search gets nothing > someone suggests birds are important > search plus birds > results
