The Tallbird Mod

Current Version 1.20: Craftable Nests, Configurable Smallbird, Teenbird and Tallbird rearing.

- Configurable Hatch and Grow times for your birds * as of v1.18, 999 days is an option to effectively keep your bird from becoming an adult *
- Birds whos master has left the server can latch onto a new parent
- Once grown up, birds will not suddenly become hostile (on/off configurable)
- *new* Tallbird Nests can now be crafted! (Easy/Hard/Disabled)
- Config defaults are now that of the stock game

Recipes are described when hovering over your selected difficulty in the Mods menu, however I will put 'em here too.

Easy: 6x Cut Grass, 6x Twigs, 1x Tallbird Egg
Hard: 6x Beefalo Wool, 6x Cut Grass, 1 Tallbird Egg
* Note * Tallbird Nests you build are exactly like the ones you find; an Adult tallbird will hatch shortly after placing the nest

Quick how-to for Tallbird raising:
- Warm an egg by a fire until it cracks (if it goes red ever, it's too hot where it is and can die if not rescued)
- Once cracked, the egg needs to spend (configurable) days total time being not too hot and not shivering from cold. Basically keep it by the fire in the evening and away from fire during the day is all you need to do to make it hatch
- Once hatched, baby tallbirds will eat only Seeds so make sure you have some!
- Teen birds will eat just about anything including monster meat with no penalty
- Once adult, your tallbirds will no longer follow you but also should not attack you (until server restart for the moment)
- Adult tallbirds you've raised should also join you in a nearby fight if they see/hear it going on
