I tried taming Kiwi's with seeds and Ostriches with apples...

I love this mod and cool new update with the new birds and the book. but why cant i tame birds anymore? I use to be able to tame parrots but now i cant. idk if its a bug or you simply just removed that feature. I know that they are breedable but idk if they are still tamable if so could you tell what birds are tamable and how. thanks

Yep, yep! It's not dead. It just takes a while to port 1.7.10 code to 1.11.2. It will be coming ASAP though!

YAY! I love this mod! Keep up the good work!

Try pumpkin seeds.

And use cooked fish - I think it says in the bird encyclopedia, but I'll have to double check x3

You should. ;3

BTW, I've tried to tweak a config to make the birds a bit rarer. It seems spawn rate is still a bit too high for certain biomes.

For example, peafowl in Plans biome. I used this:

 

peafowl {

    B:canspawn=true

    I:maxspawn=1

    I:minspawn=1

    I:spawnfrequency=1

}

Result: Too many in a small region (see attached image).

Bug: Tame parrots lose durability while on shoulder if player gets damage.

I changed the bird spawning to be hardcoded - something I'm going to change back next update.

Oh I didn't know it. I understand someone might want to spawn dozens of a bird type via config. What if the spawn frequency were hardcoded to temperature x humidity and a global rate (instead of per-bird type rate) in the config?

Thanks for replying. Looking forward to the next updates.

I see (I thought tempted meant the same as tamed (I hadn't looked at all the birds pages))

are taming more birds planned?

So for some reason, none of the birds are spawning? Is there something else other than just Forge I should also install?

I am playing with other mods. If you need a list, please let me know! I don't know why the birds aren't spawning.

I am using the 1.8.9 version.

Random question about the phoenixes... (Don't know if you want to answer this or leave it as a secret, just thought I'd put it out there.)

Heya! Nope, you just need Forge (and the mod of course!). Unfortunately Mo Creatures' conflicts with the spawning on creatures, so if you have that installed, that may be why D:

Nope! No Mo' Creatures. There is sooo much to that mod that if I installed it, it would only be that mod.
So then do they just spawn sparsely? I was traveling a river but saw no ducks or swans? Are they just rarer than normal animals (pigs, cows, etc.)?

Ooh, thanks for the hint! I'll have to go experiment now...

CAN u add roosters?

can u add the rooster

Hiya! Been playing with and have always loved this mod so much for a while now Just wondering though, are you able to tame birds in 1.7.10? I can breed them with seeds, but not tame them. If you can't in 1.7.10, would it be possible to make it so they can be tamable for that version? Thank you

Can you tame the birds??

Pavo, your woodpeckers have superpowers. They can float and peck air. (see screenshot)

You can tame parrots and pelicans (check the Encyclopedia of Birds for others, if any).

This mod is so dang sweet. I can't wait for a more up-to-date version, but perfection takes time. Also, I see you haven't added hawks yet, any plans on that?
