THE RULES:
Ordinary sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1 through 9 in each row, column, and 3x3 bold outlined box.
The pair of digits across each white dot differ by 1.
Ornithologically adjacent rule: Birds indicate ratios. Any pair of digits across a bird are in the same ratio to each other as are all pairs of digits across that type of bird. Different birds might share a ratio, but different ratios do not share a bird.
Not all birds are given.
Solution code: Row 4 left to right
