More Birds - Conures

Description
UPDATED FOR 1.5

Bring conures to your colony as pets and prey!
Playful, colorful, attention-loving animals, these birds will fly around your colony, nuzzling your colonists and making them laugh with their goofy antics. They are flocking birds and will spawn in groups in various tropical and temperate biomes. Cannot be penned; rather they are loyal to their owners and only need zoning. Can be trained to follow masters and attack but will be terrible at it!

Dedicated sprites and dodge bonuses for flight, these birds use their wings to escape from threats, unlike stupid chickens! They give very little meat/leather and lay eggs very infrequently; their value is in their bonding and nuzzling with colonists.


What's a conure?
Conures are a diverse group of small to medium-sized parrots originally from the rainforests, swamps, and fields of Central and South America, often referred to as New World Parrots. Known as the 'clowns' of the parrot world they are famous for their playful attitudes, constant need for attention, and entertaining antics like hanging upside down or swaying and dancing.

Credits
Junco for his BIRD UP! series of mods that made me interested in seeing birbs in Rimworld;
Zeitloser for making his original framework to allow flying animations, and helping me dive in and learn how to muddle my way through the XML files;
Mlie for updating that framework;
My Green Cheek Conure, Mouse, for making me want to include him in the game and sparking this whole mod-making adventure. RIP buddy, I miss you so much.
My Black Cap, Penelope Von Peep, for prompting me to add Black Caps to the mod.

Mod Notes
Should be compatible with pretty much anything (let me know any issues so I can do my best to fix).

They are currently 'intermediate' trainable because they can and do follow owners, but due to changes to trainability mechanic the ability to attack is lumped in with follow master. It's a bit unrealistic that conures can be used as attack birds but until the game's code is changed there's nothing I can do.

While not a dependency per se, I highly recommend something like Camera+ that will let you zoom in much closer to the birbs to enjoy their color and cuteness.

Birds are in the base game now!!
Odyssey adds over 40 new animals that can be tamed, trained, traded, or eaten. Watch your colorful flock of sparrows and bluebirds take flight, raise a hunting pack of scimitar cats and great wolves, go swimming with seals and otters, or just keep the cutest ones as pets, like porcupines and prairie dogs.

I love birds so much, thank you for making this mod!

I would preferred not having to kill them but I understand :D Thanks for the answer!

@RocketRacoon In 3 years of playing with my mod I've never once had only birds spawned on the map and stopping me from getting food. In the exceedingly rate event that did happen just consider it bad luck for the colony, kill the birds and new animals will spawn.

Just a question, but is it possible so birds are ignored from the max number of animals allowed on the map? I love having them around, but I also want animals to hunt for food :D Thanks!

@Doomchibi, thanks for the kind words. As far as the dependency notice, I have no clue what's causing that. It can be ignored as long as you have the Birds Beyond (Continued) and everything should work just fine.

Aww, sorry to hear about your boy... I have lost a little friend during surgery too, it's rough. I'm sure he was very well loved and cared for, and he'd want your newest friend to experience that too. Sending you an internet hug!

I came on here to mention the dependencies too, my Rimpy is insisting it wants the "birds beyond framework" but I can't seem to find the specific mod page.

Updated for 1.5, check dependencies

@#Dieing in a storm I added Black Caps, my newest bird is a BC so went ahead and added her in since you had asked. Say hi to Penelope Von Squeak, everyone!

Everybody pour one out for Mouse, my turquoise green cheek that died in surgery last year. He was the inspiration for this mod from the very start. I miss you buddy.

Would this need to be updated for 1.5?
