Macaw

Approaching and feeding

Approach while holding an accepted seed, fruit or vegetable, then right-click to feed it. Each portion eaten builds trust. Wait for it to finish eating before offering more; it becomes a companion once the trust requirement is met. Cocoa beans only arouse curiosity and will not be eaten.

Companion commands

Once tamed, the owner can sneak and right-click with an empty hand to cycle through Free, Follow, Stay and Return to Nest. The current mode appears on screen. Servers can disable this feature. A bird may still prioritize escaping danger.

Canopy life and mimicry

It mainly lives in the jungle canopy, prefers high landing spots and does not stay on the ground all the time. It moves in pairs or small groups and may imitate the calls of other birds nearby.

Food list

Wheat seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, beetroot seeds, torchflower seeds, pitcher pods, melon slices, sweet berries, glow berries, apples, carrots and beetroot.

These are the food tags in the current local build. Items contaminated with bird droppings are not treated as normal food for feeding.
