Hi there!

I have formulated an idea pertaining to the birds that were added a while back in this mod. I like the asthetic and creature variety they offer, but here is a suggestion to enchance their functionality. Given the vastness of Middle-Earth, it would be useful to have a sort of messagaing system, to deliver notes and maybe a few items. This could be done by taming a bird (or a new specific type, such as a pigeon) with seeds or fruit. Taming a bird would give the player access to a small, 4 slot inventory, and a slot where you could imput a player's name. Doing so would perhaps teleport the bird to the specified player after maybe a minute or so. Once the items are removed from the bird's inventory, it would teleport back to it's owner. Like wolves and cats birds could be ordered to remain in one space.

Other birds that could be used for messaging are as follows-

Parrot/Macaw- Found in the Far Harad Jungle or Cloud Forest.

Raven- Found near Dale and Erebor.

Pigeon- Found inEriador and the Shire

Doves- Found in Gondor and Dol Amroth

Falcon- Found on the steppes of Rhun

Also, similar to the Birds, large bats (such as the ones mentioned in the Hobbit) could be found in Mordor, Dol Guldur, and Angmar. These would function exactly like the aforementioned birds, but perhaps they could also have a weak attack.

Let me know what you guys think, thanks for your time.
