Move left and you find first birds lair.\r<br\/>4) Second birds lair located slightly higher. Move to left until limit. There is you need jump up to the top platform. To do this move left to the left wall. Then do one long jump right. Now you must land on the brick. Then press left+up to execute hight left jump. Then do one long jump right.
