I want Birds, here are the ways I would impliment them

:Mobs:[Mobs]:Mobs:

This has likely been discussed but I shall share my ideas.

  1. Birds should have loads of variants like tropical fish. I saw this somewhere on reddit and thought is was quite neat. Different sizes and colour but maybe breeding them would result in a clone of one of the parents.

  2. Tameable. Bird boxes and Bird houses. Boxes to occasionally produce feathers, wheat, sticks, bird eggs etc. And Bird houses would provide a home for up to four Birds. No cages though, just what Mojang would probably do. To tame a bird one could either come to a bird box or be fed seeds.

  3. Mechanics. Messenging would be cool, sending small packages. Maybe a bundle. Different birds could maybe carry different weights and by attaching a bundle you may get different amounts of storage.

  4. Movement. Wild birds would fly up to 40 (maybe) blocks above the closest solid ground or water that generated naturally. Or maybe just up to y = 80 as Birds usually cannot fly too high. Also they need to be reachable. Also the teleportation should be better.

  5. Wild birds. Natural Bird homes (dont know the actual term and cannot be bothered to google it) in trees. Nests or in the wood itself. Nests need silk touch to break or just go kerploosh into wheat, sticks and feathers. Occasionally when a bird comes to nest they can leave 1-3 eggs to be collected, these eggs could hatch any bird variant. The same for the wood homes. Once a bird is displaced though it can create a new home in an unoccupied log that has naturally generated. They would work just like beehives. Eggs can also be visibly seen, they would not be hollow it would just be a texture of a dark hole in the wood.

  6. Parrots. They would have their own new variants and possibly new models. There would be parrot ambience in jungles and the nests would also drop bamboo. The eggs they lay would also only hatch parrot variants.

  7. Items. Bird glove: Control when birds sit on you, I do not want my parrots to go mining with me. Bird feeders: just for automatic feeding. Fill it with wheat and the birds do the rest. Breeding and living in the nearby area.

Right, that probably covers everything. And this is one suggestion as it is just birds as a whole, not several features in one post. Just one. I am not a coder or a developer I have no clue how balanced or easy to impliment or suitable this is. I just think the skies need more life and we need more passive mobs.
