Notes:
-Based on the Indian Peafowl. Uses enrichment and habitat items suitable for this species.
-Decision was made to remove wings altogether from future bird mods as they look sleeker and nicer. Please note that this means the odd wing-based behaviour the birds would normally have is not displayed, but this impact should be minimal.
Note for Modders:
-FDB codename for adding interspecies enrichment with this species is IbisScarlet
