📋 About This Mod
Curious Birds
Penguins, Dodos, Owls, Peacocks and Turkeys are invading Skyrim ...
DODOS
Dodo in Wikipedia
MOUNT
This mod adds a Mount near the Whiterun stables (with nests and feathers)
ARMY
This mod adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs of Dodos with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of Dodos chicks (5, 15, 50, 100 ... MORE ?... ATTENTION with the freezes in your computer !) that are following you as if you were their mother !
To obtain these Dodos eggs, simply bring any “Dodo Egg ” (found with some Merchants in Whiterun : Arcadia of Arcadia’s Cauldron, Anoriath, Hulda of the Bannered Mare) to a forge and create the "Incubated Dodo Egg" in the "misc" section. Now open up your inventory, navigate to "Scrolls" and there they are. You throw them and when they hit the ground they hatch into Dodo chick. The Dodo chick follow you.
When your creatures die, remember to loot their corpses for more eggs
