Smallbird



Smallbird is a mob that was released in the December 11th "Naughty and Nice" update. One can be obtained by placing a Tallbird Egg on the ground and waiting for it to hatch. You must first place an egg obtained from a Tallbird nest near a lit fire. The egg will eventually crack and sway side to side. If an egg is sweating(too hot), move it further from the fire. If it is shivering (Too cold), move it closer. During the day, you don't have to worry about it being cold. During the night, move it near a fire, and during the day, move it away from your fire. Once the egg has been on the ground for 3 whole days, it will hatch into a Smallbird. The egg can be placed in your inventory without resetting the 3 day timer, but it must be on the ground for the timer to resume.

The preview video shows the egg placed near a Fire Pit, possibly requiring the Egg to be placed near fire/warmth. If it is left by the fire for too long it will turn into a cooked morsel.

The Smallbird follows the player.

Smallbrids are fragile and will die with a single strike. Care should be taken when examining them, as "Attack" is the default action.

Behaviour
Smallbirds will sleep at night but will become agitated and often jump up and then return to sleeping, probably because of movements of the player They are able to attack Gobblers but need many hits to kill one; their eye and attack animation is similar to the one of the tallbirds. The Gobblers also do npt run away from them at dawn.
