But that's just a very odd and strange explanation. Despawn code is relatively simple to implement and has nothing to do with how many mobs there may be. There is nothing in the configs that allows despawning to be implemented. There is no external mob control mod that can implement it. This is something you need to fix as your birds, wonderful as they are, are wrecking long term worlds by eventually taking up the whole spawn cap. Literally, nothing else is allowed to spawn, ever, once the world becomes filled with birds.

I wasn't aware of what you were asking, which is probably why you didn't get the answer you expected. You said that nothing else spawns apart from the exotic birds, so I was offering a solution to that problem: use an external spawn control mod/edit the config. Coding an alternative would be far too time consuming for the little amount of time I have free. I didn't realise you were talking about wanting the birds to despawn; Minecraft mobs don't despawn, and you asked if my mobs acted the same way, which they do. You're the first to mention it, but if you want a despawn option then I'll add one in.

Well I just had the strangest thing happen. XD I tossed an egg to get rid of it and it spawned four boobies. Was so surprised, I immediately rounded them up to keep them.

You must have been very lucky!!

Do Exotic Birds naturally despawn? Im seeing examples of worlds where they don't despawn and gradually fill up the spawn cap - making it so that nothing else spawns at all unless they are killed? Is this a fault in the mod or maybe interference from another mod?

Hi! So the birds act the same way as passive mobs in vanilla Minecraft; they won't despawn. There's nothing I can do about this due to the amount of different mobs this mod adds, but you can edit the config files, or use an external spawn control mod to fix that.

Oh, any chance we could get a female variant for the cardinals?

Possibly

It is just a suggestion.
How about making the flying birds flying from the usual sky?
I am bothered that birds do not fly too much except when players approach.
For example, if birds are jumping in the sky daytime, owls fly quietly at night and stop on the trees, it will be a good ambient.
Sorry I'm bad at English.
