This mod includes multiple custom animations.
I have through custom animations given the illusion of free flying,
essentially replacing the animal's walk animations with flying.
The animal will still think it is on the ground and may fly through some objects.
Sometimes expect strange speed ups or slow down in the animation cycle, just move the animal to reset it back to normal.
I have created animations that combine with custom blueprints to create brand new interactions.
If you choose not to use my blueprints or create your own,
the enrichment animations will have the animal interact with air LOL.
My blueprints were made to be used as is or as guides to create your own set pieces!
( I know my animations are not perfect, and the camera is a bit finicky
during them but hopefully they will enrich your experience )
I will be remastering a number of my other bird mods to incorporate these new animations so be sure to check for updates!
