trexeth 37 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) How about making Birds mortal?I mean, enable birds hunting.Of you have a lot of ammo, but no food, you can try your luck, by shooting bird down.Whe it's shot, you will ned try to find it, then grill, and eat.So there will be new type of animals - flying birds. (Or birds can even sit)Thread update:Let's Decide which types of Birds you wanna see in the game:I am adding the Poll!Types of birds are:Seagull.Crow.PigeonSparrowChickenBustardEagleDuckBlack vultureGo VOTE!

Crimly 8 Posted November 4, 2012 Yeah, It seems like when you need an animal to pop up they are few and far between. I remember when I had lost a lot of blood and was walking around looking for animals to fry up. Saw a lot of birds but few animals. Took me a while but I finally came across a goat. Wasn't the best but it got me out of a grey screen and constantly passing out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aksuduud 64 Posted November 4, 2012 IIRC, in armed assault you could kill birds because they were single characters and not a enviromental animation like in ARMA 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indominator 95 Posted November 4, 2012 birds, they have so little meat the time to hunt them is not that worth, there are larger prey out there, like humans which are more common in some places, have more meat and more dumb sometimes, cows are way easier, i know it would be nice to hunt ducks and i am totally up for it being implemented, but i see them being more implemented to show player location when a flock gets scared away, dead bodies with crows or vultures, and other things. I see them more as a tool to be used then a real food suply, they have feathers, but they are not that usefull. I would just leave them alone and go hunt other animals, unless there were real fat birds but those seem to not belong in chernarus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted November 5, 2012 Albatrosses and Pelicans would have some good eating them if you could find them, they're pretty big, for birds.I would be more inclined to go for Grouse, Pheasants and Partridges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trexeth 37 Posted November 5, 2012 Heym if you completely have no food, and you are starving, shooting birds will save you.DayZ Standalone will be much harder then current Mod. Loot will be much more rare.So, hunting, gathering and growing own trees/crops will ne integral part of the game.Most of people would like to be able to shoot birds down, that's Great.Thread update:Let's Decide which types of Birds you wanna see in the game:I am adding the Poll!Types of birds are:Seagull.Crow.PigeonSparrowChickenBustardEagleDuckBlack vultureGo VOTE!

trexeth 37 Posted November 6, 2012 Google Bustard, to see pictures.However, Bustard - is the heaviest bird in the world.It is small, but it has a lot of meat in eat.It is like Chicken, but twice more fat. (loads of meat)Somebody said, that we have chicken, and they are enough.I will open you a secret: CHICKEN CAN'T FLY! But the key point of this suggestion, is to add AIR HUNTING. Shoot birds sitting on trees.Guys, everyone who said that bird hunting is very hard.I killed 2 birds with my father when i was 12.They fly in folks, and sit on trees.The hardest thing is to spot the folk, and not to let them spot you.Birds are easy to kill if they sit on tree,But if they spotted you, they fly away.

Mini Maracas 37 Posted November 20, 2012 There should be crows due to all the dead bodies.Yes! Beans to you! I can just imagine. At night, when you're paranoid, you've just killed 2 people, and are wondering if they have backup. You walk off into the darkness, and hear a noise! Turn your flashlight on, and a crow is just staring at you. Crows are creepy little birdies!Also maybe crows could be attracted to dead bodies, the longer they've been dead, the more they smell, so crows will be more attracted!
