Actually, thats a little extreme... Here, I have a good one. Its kind of like asking why we have fish/birds/butterflys in the mod, they aren't required, but they look nice and enhance the feel of the mod. Birds are there to balance the game, taking unneeded riches from needlessly rich players. Fish are there so you don't have to bore yourself with using the slow fishing rods, instead you could leap into the water and slay fish. Butterflies are there for getting an easy achievement for your achievement shields, also for an awesome title. Yes, they all look nice and enchance the feel too, but they aren't only for asthetic beauty.

But so, if not only aesthetic beauty, then...

NECKLASES OF POWER!

JK it would probably be highly non-canon. birds steel seeds/food, and occasionally rings, which isn't balance, rings don't do anything. Fish don't even drop the fish item unless it was changed in 33 which it wasn't noted on in the change-log, and as far as merciless... er, I suppose. But it could easily be moved onto something else that is harmless, but actually does something.

I think birds can steal weapons and ingots from player inventory. Food is valuable, especially when you play on a server with the middle-earth slow hunger system disabled.
