🦜 BUDGIES! — Charming Avian Companions for Minecraft

Bring lively chirps, colorful feathers, and realistic bird behaviors to your Minecraft worlds! BUDGIES! introduces lovingly crafted budgerigars (parakeets) with rich animations, authentic soundscapes, gender dimorphism, and natural flight physics designed to feel right at home within the vanilla game.

✨ Key Features

• Authentic Living Behavior: Budgies tilt their heads inquisitively, fluff their feathers, perch on fences or branches, groom themselves, and even tuck their heads away to sleep during the night.

• Realistic High-Frequency Flight: Say goodbye to stiff, slow flaps! Budgies take flight with rapid, lively wing flutters and transition into graceful gliding when approaching a perch.

• Gender Dimorphism: Just like real budgies, gender is easily distinguished by their cere (the fleshy area above the beak):

  • Males: Vibrant royal blue / purplish ceres.

  • Females: Soft brownish / pinkish-beige ceres.

• Diverse Plumage Variants: Discover classic wild greens, sky blues, lutino yellows, albinos, and more roaming across your world.

• Fully Breedable: Unlike vanilla parrots, budgies can be bred using any vanilla seeds (wheat, melon, pumpkin, or beetroot). Chicks inherit color genetics directly from their parents!

• Immersive Sound Design: High-fidelity, real budgie vocalizations recorded for chirping, flock calling, idle chatter, and gentle bedtime murmurs.

• Performance-First Design: Built on lightweight GeckoLib animations and optimized Fabric architecture to ensure zero TPS drops even with large backyard flocks.

🌾 Taming & Care

1. Finding Them: Budgies naturally spawn in warm, grassy, and forested biomes where seeds and tall foliage are abundant.

2. Taming: Approach them quietly and offer your favorite seeds to earn their trust and companionship.

3. Breeding: Feed two tamed budgies seeds to produce a tiny, energetic chick that inherits the plumage traits of its parents.

4. Resting: Right-click your budgie to tell it to stay or perch on your shoulder while you explore.
