Vivid Birds

ATTENTION!

Vultures are not buggy, they just despawn in peaceful mode, like every other mob.

Breadcrumbs are not broken, most birds only eat them when you throw them on the ground.

Penguins are not broken, they get damaged in warm biomes, unless you reduce the light level.

Those are not bugs, but features! ;)

This mod adds new bird to Minecraft and is based on many Suggestions from the forums.

It includes:

Lyrebirds

These birds are harmless, but they imitate sounds and can scare you with explosions and monster noises.

But they also can be bred with melon seeds and can be cute pets, since each of them has its own collection of sounds.

(Tip: They have different sounds for living, getting hurt and dying!)

Ostriches

These are useful farm animals in savanna biomes.

They drop feathers, leather and meat, and they can be ridden (you need a saddle, for now, but I may change that in the future)!

They even duck, so you can shoot with bows better!

But they also defend themselves against monsters and players, so do not make them angry.

Vultures

These birds are dangerous, but as long as you are healthy, they can be scared away easily.

But be cautious when you are weak. They will sense weakness and try to kill you when you least need it!

They do not do much damage, but their dirty beaks can infect you with poison or weakness.

Also, they love to pick up all meat they find and may loot you clean.

Penguins

These cute little birds live in the cold regions and if you are heartless or hungry enough to kill them, they are a great source of food, since they can drop up to three pieces of wild bird meat. They love fish!

Sparrows

These small little fellows live in forests and sing all day long. You cannot do much with them, but listen and feed them with breadcrumbs.

Seagulls

These birds live on beaches and oceans and might drop fish. They love breadcrumbs and I hope to let them catch fish from the ocean surface.

Kiwis

These little birds spawn in the night in dense biomes and mainly run away. They are shy creatures and try to avoid sunlight, but if you are careful, you can feed them with breadcrumbs or melon seeds or breed them as a food source with any kind of seeds. They sometimes even drop melon pieces.
