How To Start The Pirate's Wife Quest
As this quest begins on Ginger Island, you'll first need to complete the tasks that bring you to Ginger Island from Pelican Town. You'll need to complete the Community Center first, meaning it takes a while to get to Ginger Island when you first start playing.
Once you get to Ginger Island, the west side of Ginger Island must be unlocked. This is the island farm, and to unlock it, you will need to give ten Golden Walnuts to a parrot near a giant sleeping turtle.
Once donated, the turtle will permanently move, allowing you to access the area.
Afterward, go past the island farm to the far left side of the map. There will be a small hut and a woman fishing outside when it's not raining - this is Birdie.
When you talk to her, she will explain that she moved to the island after finding the wreckage of her husband's ship. She is looking for a locket her husband had on him and gives you a War Memento to get you started in your search.
How To Find Birdie's Locket By Trading
To find Birdie's locket, you will need to venture back to Pelican Town and go through a series of exchanges, which starts with Kent.
Remember that you will need to hold the item to exchange with the NPCs when you are speaking with them.
