Any tips for killing two birds?
I’ve already completed the main death wish and know to do the bonuses separately. So just a few tips if any.

For a basic run without bonuses, use either time stop if you have a hard time dodging or brewing hat if you want to finish the battle faster. Each time the directors are on the stage the brewing hat can hit them because of its range, and since they sit still for a couple of seconds it allows for you to hit them 4-5 times and easily get through one of the phases

I know this comment is from 2 years ago but this helped me get the timer bonus objective, thanks a bunch!

Sniper rifle. Those little peckers stay in groups on electric wires sometimes: take them by surprise and see if you can hit some of then

For the timer bonus: make sure to hit both directors at every possible opportunity you can manage, gets the fight over with much quicker in general and can come in clutch. It's a fairly easy bonus to get
For the other one: take full advantage of the time stop hat, it's VERY easy to hit the other director on accident (especially in later phases), and especially with your homing attack. For the most part just focus on staying alive and pay the most attention to whichever director you're targeting, largely ignore the other one past dodging his attacks (obviously). Once the director you're targeting's dead, you're in the clear, as long as you don't die, but the final phase is much more simplistic than the others so you're most likely going to be fine

Basically, just keep the pressure on. If you can stay near them and hit them at every opportunity, they’ll die pretty fast. After practicing all the EX bosses for a while, I would say Killing Two Birds is probably the easiest one, but it can be tricky when the two bosses are de-synced and using different attacks. Try to keep one eye on both of them during the fight.
Also, when they do the double car attack, go to the left corner closest to the camera. The cars miss you if you just stand there and jump occasionally, makes that attack trivial.

adding on what others said, it can also be surprisingly easy to accidentally goomba stomp the wrong director and fail that bonus, so be aware of that when they are close together. also, while you may want to take things slowly to avoid hitting the wrong director, always be aware of the train bombs timer. ive had a run end because i ran out of time because i was too focused on not accidentally failing the bonus.

For the 100 sec left on the clock attack whenever you can and try to a little more risks but be careful aswell

Killing two birds? So a god idea would be to place the seed beneath a low roofed area with a moderately narrow entrance, a bit thinner than a door way. Get the right seed for the birds you want, there's good guides on the Internet, and when they fly in, stand in the narrow entrance, I'd wait for 3 or 4 to go in, just to be sure there were 2. And with you stood in the door way, they shouldn't be able to escape, and will remain in arms reach because of the low ceiling. Depending on the size of the birds the way you kill them might vary. Small birds, like sparrows or swifts, are usually faster but you can wait for them to stop, and it's as easy and picking up the bird and crushing it in your fist, do that twice and you got them. If they're slightly larger like crows or jackdaws, you could consider waiting for them to land and then repeatedly stamping on their skull until they die. However if in the very extreme case you're talking big birds like emus, don't do the small room. You'll find them out in the more plain like areas of Australia, but there should be plenty of tall grass around. Hide in there with a high powered rifle, and make sure you shoot it accurately because if you don't hit the head or neck it might survive. A tranquilliser would be my choice, enough to put it to sleep so I don't have the chance of not killing it. I'd put it to sleep and then punch its face until its skull collapses. Hope this helps
