Do you mean you can't find the Target field? If that is the case, make sure you have a serialized variable of type Transform under your class in the BirdMovement script.

Like this:

public class BirdMovement : MonoBehaviour {

    [SerializeField]
    private Transform target;

SetFloat is a method which means it's case sensitive.

    birdAnimator.SetFLoat ("Speed", speed);

to

        birdAnimator.SetFloat("Speed", speed);

Although I'm not quite sure what your error is. Can you not see the Target field in the inspector at all?

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class BirdMovement : MonoBehaviour {

[SerializeField]
private Transform target;
private NavMeshAgent birdAgent;
private Animator birdAnimator;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
    birdAgent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();
    birdAnimator = GetComponent<Animator>();

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    // Set the bird's destination
    birdAgent.SetDestination(target.position);

    //Measure the magnitude of the NavMeshAgent's velocity
    float speed = birdAgent.velocity.magnitude;

    //pass the velocity to the animator component
    birdAnimator.SetFLoat ("Speed", speed); 


}

}

this is the code, I cant see anything wrong. Thank you for the help in advance

Yep i cannot find it. I have watched video several times too and it kept missing from the inspector window. Its strange....

//pass the velocity to the animator component birdAnimator.SetFLoat ("Speed", speed); I also get SetFloat red underlined when i save the code. But it seems to me, I have written exactly the same code. May be something missing,

You get it red because you've written "SetFLoat" instead of "SetFloat".

Do you see the script BirdMovement on the bird? Also make sure to save your script.
