Oof, dry paints are the worst, especially when you want to gift this to your neighbor who loves birds :(.
A tiny drop of warm water and a slow stir can revive many pots, have you tried that?
If one shade is gone you could match it with a small acrylic from a local store, and if a few spots stay chunky, turn it into feathery texture and call it art, the birds get a free spa day :).
I definately get the frustration, the paints was fighting you, but dont let this set be wasted.

I still have some a bit similar paints from Venice set. So I will use them.
Great call, those Venice paints should blend in fine if the col;or tones match. Maybe test a tiny swatch on scrap first, thsi saves surprises on the birds :) If any edge looks patchy, a soft damp brush can smooth it, and a light matte varnish later will even things out. Your neighbor will defintely love the thought behind it, even more than perfect lines.
