I've added a set of birds (dove, guinea fowl, hornbill, partridge, raven, robin, starling and thrush) to the store. They roam around on the ground within a certain distance of the spawn point, and fly away when you get close.

Are there any tropical birds in there? I'm looking for some for my WIP which is on a tropical island. So if there are then I will definitely be throwing my wallet in your direction

Belidos - the closest to tropical birds would be the hornbill and guinea fowl, but there are no parrots or birds of paradise in there (yet).

OK thanks, If you do make some more tropical looking birds I will be the first to buy them (will probably get some of the others and use GIMP to brighten up their colours, make them into fake tropical birds )

@Belidos - the hornbill is the most tropical-looking bird of the set, and you can turn it into a toucan fairly easily, I think.

Here's a retexture for those who have the mallard - a female mallard. Move the attached files to the folder containing the mallard.x file.

I think the dove can pass as a pigeon. The reason I didn't do a pigeon is because they are mostly city birds, and if you put my birds in a city they'll fly right through the buildings. I'm busy with another project at the moment - when I'm done I'll retexture the dove , turn it into a pigeon and add it here.

There's actually a pigeon in the store already, I can't remember who made it (probably Erart) but it's actually quite good, the script he supplies with it gives it some quite realistic behaviours, it wonders around randomly, and if you get close it tries to fly away, it perches on entities, and it also if I remember the video doesn't pass through buildings and objects, but flies against them like you see a pigeon will do in real life when it panics.

If I remember right smallg helped with the script for it, so you might want to speak to him and ask him how that was achieved.

I've added some tropical birds to the store - cockatoo, great hornbill, macaw, parakeet, quetzal and toucan. They need to be placed on a perch or in dense foliage if you don't want to fiddle about getting them into the correct position, and they'll alternate between perching and flying around, always returning to the spot where you place them.

Thanks - I plan to do some retextures in the coming months, just to add a bit of variety, starting with a blue/green macaw.

I've updated the scripts of the tropical birds, due to the fact that the SetSoundVolume function I was using to reduce the volume of the bird sounds as you get further away from them applies to all sounds, not just the sounds called in the script. The script now uses global sound functions.
There are two potential problems with this - if the sound files aren't present in the correct folder, you will get an error message when you use the model. If you don't want sound to be played, then you can either edit all references to the sounds in the script, or you can create a silent sound file (in a program such as Audacity) and add it to the audiobank/misc folder.
The second problem is that if you are using other scripts that use Global sounds, then you may end up with a conflict with the sound IDs. If you look in the script for the LoadGlobalSound commands, you will the file name/path, and a number(the sound ID). I've used different numbers for all the sound IDs, but another script may use the same number. If this happens, you will need to change the number in the LoadGlobalSound command, as well as any other references to that sound in the script.

Here are 3 retextures for the tropical birds - a blue/gold macaw, a palm cockatoo and a new toucan. Obviously you will need to have the macaw, cockatoo and toucan models for these to work. Drop the files into the folder containing the relevant .x files.
