HUP received. Reloading birb configuration files.

Did you know you can upload files to birds using sound?

Did you know you can upload files using birds, too?

What is it called when a birb jumps of a ledge without flapping its wings and just free falls for a moment before starting to fly? Sparrows do it and I think it's the funniest shit.

Energy efficiency

Probably just an engine glitch. Delayed spawning of the birb, which means we're seeing the Z buffer when the birb model spawns. Happens all the time, nothing Major - push to Prod.

I immediately heard this in Link's voice.

I can imagine a sparrow hopping back and forth now:

"Hup, hup hup, (wing flap) hyaahh!"

i'm now imagining a flock of birds all making link noises with every flap of their wings, so it's just unintelligible nonsense until they fly close enough and you pay attention the horror dawns upon you

the fact that birds are lazy and prefer jumping around if they can, is amazing. pidgeons just boinging up staircases

Like the mythical 8-ship-jump of Minamoto Yoshitsune in the battle of Dan-No-Ura
