Rad Birds

Description

Rad Birds is a sound effect mod based on Radiant Birds by indipindi. Sound effects for crows and radgulls have been either replaced or edited to improve sound quality. Other minor adjustments in this version include equalized volume levels, small improvements, and a few replacements or reversions to vanilla sounds. Small quality of life mods like indipindi’s Radiant Birds add a needed level of additional detail to Fallout 4. Since the original mod is now unsupported, I wanted to share my own fixes and improvements and use the original files as a foundation for my own mod. For information regarding further updates, see the "Future Updates" section.
