Hybrid Birds is a mod focusing on adding a variety of new birds to the world of Minecraft, with six new birds currently in the mod (plus babies!)
Currently available birds, and their babies:
- Rooster - Chick
- Turkey - Poult
- Duck - Duckling
- Goose - Gosling
- Swan - Cygnet
- Guinea Fowl - Keet
- Peacock - Peachick
Most birds have some functionality added to them as well!
Rooster:
- Applies a new buff, Roosters Calling, if a player wakes up from a bed within 32 blocks of them, giving slight regeneration and saturation lasting until noon
- Scare away ocelots
- Can be fed glowberries to turn them aggressive, making them fight any other aggressive roosters for 10 seconds.. do with that what you will
Turkey:
- Can be fed wheat to fatten it up to two times, fatter turkeys can drop more meat when killed
- Scare away ocelots
Guinea Fowl:
- Behave exactly like chickens, but produce up to 4 keets when bred, making them a more efficient source of food
Duck/Goose:
- Drop raw duck and raw goose respectively, which can be combined with a raw turkey to create a Turducken
Coming with these new creatures are a bunch of new food items, including cooked eggs, ducks, geese, turkeys, and turducken, which is a placeable food item that can be eaten up to 10 times!
