When i looked at the birds in the mod i noticed there arn't many bird types in the mod. Exluding  Crabans, flamingos and the doves that fly around. So what i propose here is more ​birds

H​ere are my ideas for what birds should be added. Parrots. They would be like the normal birds that fly around but with more exotic textures. The birds with these tropical textures would only be found in a select few biomes. They would only be found in harad and rhun. some biomes in the harad/rhun land mass would not have them. They would drop parrot meat which is the same is chicken meat but with a different texture. and the feather of the aproppiate colour.

Quails. These would replace the current chicken mob in the wild. possibly exluding the shire, Where chickens would still be found. They would probably need new models as the current chicken model misses a lot of the features a quail would have. such as the feather that sticks up from there head. They would have four hit points (2 health) and Could glide like chickens. The juvenile quails would have a less colourful coat of feathers and would not have the feather sticking up from there head. They would drop raw chicken meat and brown feathers.

Ducks There would be multiple textures for ducks. they could fly short distances and some could fly much longer like the wood duck. others like mallard ducks could not fly that far. They would have the same model as a chicken but the wood ducks would have a smaller model. There drops would be raw chicken meat and a duck carcass which in an oven could be "cooked" into duck fat/lard and green or brown feathers.

Items this would add Duck fat: You could use these by putting a jar of this next to A pie in your inventory. It would make each slice have 1 point more of saturation. You could also put a jar of it Next to cooked chicken for the same effect. it could work on up to 16 chicken pieces. The jar would slowly have less and less uses in it as you used it. when you hovered over it with your mouse it would show how much fat it had left in it. You would get the fat into the jar by making the fat in an oven then putting the Unjared fat with a jar in the crafting grid. When the jar ran out of uses the jar would remain for more fat or maybe trapping a butterfly.

Parrot meat: Like chicken meat but with a different texture.

Varatians of birds Mallards: One of the two types of ducks They could only fly short distances. Wood ducks: They would be smaller versions of the mallard but they could fly long distances. Scarlet macaws: They would be a parrot type that would spawn in near harad.

The other types of parots would spawn in multiple harad biomes. including the cloud forest. the harad jungle and and the desert of rhun.
