This mod adds in more than 30 new birds to your Minecraft world, spawning in a variety of different biomes. Hear woodpeckers pecking high up in the trees, see swans swimming about in rivers, or listen to the lyrebird mimicking its environment. This mod helps to bring your world to life!
The mod features a wide range of new birds, including:
Blue Jay
Blue-footed Booby
Cardinal
Cassowary
Crane

Birds can be found spawning in the world or can be hatched from eggs found in nests, which generate upon trees in your world. Each bird also has multiple species, bringing the total number of birds to more than 100!
A detailed bird encyclopedia gives you information and knowledge on the birds, such as their favourite food, their habitat, gender and variants. Use this book to try and log all the birds in your world!
The 1.12.2 version of this mod is compatible with the Bird's Nests mod.

Hello. configuration tab is not active. How to fix it?
I love this mod but I don't understand how the nests work. If I make one and eggs in it ideally will have baby birds hatch?
In reply to MissNatcula:
Nests will spawn in the wild containing eggs. Nest you place will gradually generate eggs over time. They won't hatch though - you'll have to do that yourself by throwing them, much like normal minecraft eggs :)
I can't disable parrots in the configs.
I love your mod, any chance for an 1.14 update soonish? I realize that people have lives outside modding but a status update would be nice ;). Keep up the very good work!
In reply to aferris86:
Yep! There will be! I can't promise it will be soon as my life has been incredibly busy, but I can't wait to get the new updates out for you all :D
Love the breath of life this mod adds to the game.
And unlike any other mod that adds animals, for some reason you know how to work the spawning system and they are not suppressing the spawn rate of other mobs, such as cows or chickens or flooding a game until crashing with spawns (ZAWA)
Keep up the great work, this is one of my core mods every time I play!
Is there any way of reducing the nest spawns in the config? Every tree in my world has nests in it, I'd like them to be a bit more uncommon than that
EDIT: Found it in the config
ThePavoReality. Lets talk. This mod has parrots and in Minecraft 1.12 parrots are added. So. Parrots in this mod should get removed in the Minecraft 1.12 mod update.
In reply to jtroundtree:
My parrots were around first and I believe even helped to inspire the current parrots in-game. If you would like them removed, you are very welcome to disable them in the configs, though I won't be removing them from the mod, sorry!
In reply to ThePavoReality:
I can't disable them in the configs.
In reply to jtroundtree:
Uh hello. Any respond?
In reply to jtroundtree:
Sort of a douche way to make a request.
My water phoenix won't stop flapping after hatching (hey that rhymes!) and won't follow me I did place the egg and was like three or four blocks away when it hatched.
In reply to mistyhorse2408:
Yes! The phoenixes flap their wings constantly. Think of it kind of like a little exercise they have to do to remain fit. And the phoenixes won't follow you, though you can add a saddle onto them and ride them!
In reply to ThePavoReality:
Oh ok I thought they did, like cats and dogs
Thanks!
You should Totally add falcons! and they could be tamed and hunt for you!
In reply to mistyhorse2408:
Genius! Fish and rabbits and foxes and smaller birds.
A more advanced or rare breed of falcon can also be trained or rare breed of falcon can also be trained to to collect different items from the world or retrieve items you lost upon death. Falconry as a new achievement for those that like that thing...
In reply to truthseek3r:
So there's kind of a reason this mod has no birds of prey (minus the vulture). I really wanted to create a falconry add-on to go alongside the main mod that allowed you to hunt and train your birds. You could then train your falcons up in a similar way to the dogs from doggy talents. Unfortunately I never got around to doing so, but would definitely love to try again in the future :D
In reply to ThePavoReality:
Yeah that would be so cool
even more because there are NO good falconry mods...
I LOVE your mod by the way!
