Bring conures to your colony as pets and prey!
Playful, colorful, attention-loving animals, these birds will fly around your colony, nuzzling your colonists and making them laugh with their goofy antics. They are flocking birds and will spawn in groups in various tropical and temperate biomes. Cannot be penned; rather they are loyal to their owners and only need zoning. Can be trained to follow masters and attack but will be terrible at it!
Dedicated sprites and dodge bonuses for flight, these birds use their wings to escape from threats, unlike stupid chickens! They give very little meat/leather and lay eggs very infrequently; their value is in their bonding and nuzzling with colonists.

What's a conure?
Conures are a diverse group of small to medium-sized parrots originally from the rainforests, swamps, and fields of Central and South America, often referred to as New World Parrots. Known as the clowns of the parrot world they are famous for their playful attitudes, constant need for attention, and entertaining antics like hanging upside down or swaying and dancing.

Zeitloser for making his original framework to allow flying animations, and helping me dive in and learn how to muddle my way through the XML files;
Mlie for updating that framework;
My Green Cheek Conure, Mouse, for making me want to include him in the game and sparking this whole mod-making adventure. RIP buddy, I miss you so much.
My Black Cap, Penelope Von Peep, for prompting me to add Black Caps to the mod.
Mod Notes
Should be compatible with pretty much anything (let me know any issues so I can do my best to fix).
They are currently 'intermediate' trainable because they can and do follow owners, but due to changes to trainability mechanic the ability to attack is lumped in with follow master. It's a bit unrealistic that conures can be used as attack birds but until the game's code is changed there's nothing I can do.
While not a dependency per se, I highly recommend something like Camera+ that will let you zoom in much closer to the birbs to enjoy their color and cuteness.
