Bring songbirds to your colony and hear their melodic voices!

Singing songbirds enhance colony mood with their constant, melodic presence, reducing mental breaks. Though slow to reproduce and poor food sources, these colorful birds thrive in forests and fields. When tamed, they require indoor housing or aviaries due to their ability to fly over walls. While skittish and not prone to nuzzling, their cheerful songs provide a mood buff to nearby colonists.

Songbirds

A 'songbird' generally belongs to the suborder Passeri of perching birds, but is often a title given to a wide range of birds from many classifications known for their calls, songs, and whistles. They range the globe, and can survive in many environments from icy boreal forests to arid deserts to steamy jungles.

Credits

Props to Kestrel's wonderful BIRD UP mods that were my original inspiration. Those mods were picked up by others, consolidated and currently handled by Tyrannidae - ** check it out here **.

Thanks to Taranchuk, Shun The Witch, and Jerry The Cultist for the C# code to handle the mood buff effect to make these songbirds unique and valuable to a colony!

A nod to my Green Cheek Conure, Mouse, for sparking this whole mod-making adventure - RIP buddy, I miss you so much; and to my Black Cap Conure, Penelope Von Peep, for making me want to keep going with these bird mods!

Mod Notes

NOT CE COMPATIBLE. I hate writing code but I asked on the CE Discord for them to write a patch. I'll update this if it happens. Should be compatible with pretty much anything (let me know any issues so I can do my best to fix).

I highly recommend something like Camera+ to enjoy the colors and sounds of these animals. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=867467808

I'm an artist, not a coder

I hire coders for my code work beyond basic XML. Feel free to donate if you want to help me offset those costs, or if you just like my mods. If/when I reach a point where donations equal what I paid for code work, I will remove this link - I'm not trying to make money, just break even.
