Bird-Brained Puzzles

Not in an opportune situation at the moment, but I'm still trying my best to get something out every week. If you're unfamiliar with metapuzzles, the gist is that each clue will have multiple words or phrases divided by commas, and you'll need to use them to derive the answer using various forms of wordplay or puzzle solving mechanics. An example would be [ACE DARLING, JACK FROST, KING LEONIDAS, QUEEN OF HEARTS]. In this case, if you order the answers by the starting playing card rank, the rest of the answers start with the letters FOLD. Nearly all the metals are presented in alphabetical order, meaning you'll need to also use the answers to find a different ordering to solve. Congrats on 7max18 for solving my last puzzle! a

  I am back with another puzzle hunt-style puzzle after a while! The answer to this puzzle is one word. Submit your responses to this form and I'll shoutout correct responses in my next post.

Only have the chops to send out a simple 9x9 grid this week but I hope the stacks and spanners make up for that!
