Sky flocks

Distant flocks

Geese, eagles, seagulls, swallows, cranes, vultures and starling flocks appear in the distant sky according to biome, time and weather. They are client-side ambient effects, not entities you can feed, catch or tame.

EnvironmentCommon sights

Plains, meadows and forest edgesSwallows, starlings and some migrating flocks
Mountains, taiga and plateausSoaring eagles

Swamps and mangrovesCranes and geese

Time and weather

Migrating birds are more common at dawn and dusk. Midday favors soaring eagles and vultures, while dusk increases the chance of starling flocks. Flocks do not spawn naturally during thunderstorms; rain affects each species differently.

The Sky Bird Ecology toggle only controls distant flocks. It does not affect bird entities.
