Players looking to complete the Concrete Ornithology Challenge inside the Berlin level of Hitman 3 can do so using this guide.

As expected, Hitman 3 continues the trilogy's abundance of secrets, Easter eggs, and challenges to keep players coming back time and time again. Each of the six maps features numerous ways to take out the targets, providing players with a large amount of replayability to earn even more XP for unlocking new items.  In fact, each level has its own progression path in addition to the player's overall account, unlocking new features and items that can be used exclusively on those levels.

The third map takes players to Berlin, Germany for the mission known as Apex Predator. While working on the main story mission, players will likely notice many of the buildings feature graffiti and street art. While not important to the main story, players can score some easy XP as well as an achievement/trophy for finding 7 yellow birds scattered around the city. Simply taking a picture of all seven before finishing the mission will unlock the Concrete Ornithology Challenge and the Bird Art achievement.

Thankfully, the birds are relatively close to one another, so players shouldn't have to do too much running around to find them. When one is found, players should take out the new camera tool in Hitman 3 to take a picture. If the player is close enough to the bird, taking the picture will pop a progress counter in the top right of the screen indicating it was done correctly. The final achievement won't appear until the player has exfiltrated the mission completely.

The first bird can be found right around the corner from the club entrance, so ideally, players should start this Hitman 3 mission from that location if possible. From the doorway of the club head through the line to the right where a massive tank can be found. At the back wall is the first bird wearing a black hat and sunglasses.

From the first bird, climb over the wall to the left and follow the wall until you see large white lettering with the phrase "Super! Stars" to which players should head left. In this area are a bunch of people that will likely spot Agent 47, so either sneak past them and head to the right or deal with them. A part of club security individuals will also be waiting and will likely need to be taken out as many of the yellow birds will be located in this section of the map.

A bird with glasses is peeking out from a yellow dumpster while another bird is standing on pink lettering staring down at a fourth bird. Take a picture of all of them to get credit.

The next set of birds are located to the right of this section on a wall above a few large metal containers. Jump up on top of them and get a shot of the four birds standing on top of one another. Unfortunately, this only counts as one and not four. Looking up on the wall reveals another bird, but it is out of range, so head around the corner from the bird stack to find a ladder.

After heading up the ladder, take another right to head up a small set of stairs, essentially standing on the roof of the building that has the bird stack on it. The other bird should now be in range of your camera, so run under the staircase to grab a picture.

Continue through the open door and immediately take a left to find the next bird with an exclamation point above its head.

If you missed one and need to grab another, there are additional yellow birds in the same house, so turn the camera to another wall to see three birds with one holding a sign that shows an anti-drumstick stance.

This should complete the Concrete Ornithology Challenge which awards 4,000XP. Once the player leaves the mission for good, the achievement or trophy will pop.

Hitman 3 will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
