Clumzy (DayZ) 377 Posted January 1, 2014 Just a small suggestion regarding the wildlife situation in DayZ Standalone (Once wildlife starts being implemented, of course). I was watching a video of a sound mock-up for the standalone, and the creator added in some bird sound effects for the outside sound effects. Makes sense, but when he started showcasing the M4 sound effects while outdoors, and the birds kept happily chirping away, it got me thinking. My suggestion is to add in actual birds that will fly away from trees when startled. So, when a gun goes off near a tree, or even if a player just walks past, there could be a chance that a flock of birds will fly off of it. This could be a good way to track players or be alerted to the presence of a player/zombie. Hopefully this can be implemented sometime in the future. So, what do you guys think?

Another way to get a bird might be to shoot them, but depending on the round and where you hit the bird, it'll take off chunks of meat. --edit-- Another thought came up:Bird traps don't work all the time, and on a rare occasion, the bird trap breaks. Other animals may also trigger the trap (rabbits, for example) or destroy the trap (such as boars), so the player will have to keep an eye on the trap(s). It should also be setup so other players can destroy the trap with a "sabatoge" option as well as poison the bait so when the player eats the bird, they get sick and can die without antibiotics (just more reason to keep an eye on the trap(s)).
