Approaching and feeding

Approach while holding an accepted seed, fruit or vegetable, then right-click to feed it. Each portion eaten builds trust. Wait for it to finish eating before offering more; it becomes a companion once the trust requirement is met. Cocoa beans only arouse curiosity and will not be eaten.

Companion commands

Once tamed, the owner can sneak and right-click with an empty hand to cycle through Free, Follow, Stay and Return to Nest. The current mode appears on screen. Servers can disable this feature. A bird may still prioritize escaping danger.

Flocking and foraging

It looks for food on open ground during the day and forms flocks with its own kind. Friendly feeding adds a little trust to nearby birds of the same species. Attacks or danger interrupt its current behavior.

Listening to music

It may sway or dance when music plays nearby. Feather colors are cosmetic variants; different colors do not require different foods.

Food list

Wheat seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, beetroot seeds, torchflower seeds, pitcher pods, melon slices, sweet berries and glow berries.

These are the food tags in the current local build. Items contaminated with bird droppings are not treated as normal food for feeding.
