        button on Planet Zoo's install files tab in the properties window with

        This mod includes multiple custom animations, including custom enrichment item animations.

        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!
