Dodo Bird

'Dodo birds are passive creatures found throughout the Blockhead's world. They are a source of several items used as food as well as items that are used in the crafting process.

Appearance

Dodos are short, red/purple/blue flightless birds with a long billed beak and legs found roaming the ground.

Where Found

Dodos randomly appear near apple trees and can be found in nearly all warm biome regions, especially in areas with an abundance of trees.

Behavior

Dodo birds are typically solitary animals but may have presocial behavior when other dodo birds are in the area. They can be found walking or pecking the ground and will not attempt to climb a two-block change in height. They occasionally squawk when a Blockhead is in the vicinity and when provoked, will attempt to flee from a Blockhead.

Health

A dodo bird is not a hardy creature, usually falling within a few hits from a particular weapon or tool. Whether dying on its own or killed, a dying dodo makes a distinctive "squawk" sound.

Uses

Dodos are a source of three things:

• Dodo Eggs - Randomly dropped by a dodo bird when provoked, frightened, or at random intervals.
• Dodo Meat - Randomly dropped by a dodo bird when it dies.
• Dodo Feathers - Randomly dropped by a dodo bird when it dies.

Notes

Dodos are based on a real bird of the same name that was discovered on an island off of Africa and went extinct in the 17th century.
