I'd like to see some tameable birds like Hawks, Ospreys and Parrots. They could be used as status symbols and to catch small game like weasels, rabbits and fish except parrots which could give a small luck bonus- or not. They would be non-breedable and have low hits. They would be difficult to tame due to location and could be transferable like horses. I used to be a tamer/breeder located in Meduli a long time ago. I'd head south of Meduli to tame and bring multiple horses back and breed and sell them, sometimes running up to Tin to trade them. Breeding "perfect" horses should be rare imo. Not sure I'll be a tamer this go around. Looking forward to seeing new content in the future.

I like the idea if we're going for the utility concept of them giving buffs or catching small game for us. Not a high priority but something good to have in eventually.
It would be cool if a player that took the time and effort of having the bird lores, multiple taming skills, and manually trained their hawk at least 60 levels out of 125 could be rewarded with a skill that lets them scout and get a birds eye view above them. This could be used for tracking other creatures or maybe scouting out numbers on a battlefield in case any were hiding behind a hill for an ambush or just surveying the land to make a map.
I had given that idea some consideration but without the specific mechanics you mention. I think it has some merit but I was thinking that maybe it could be combined with a magic school element kinda ala Game of Thrones. Your eyes roll back and your in a trance(defenseless to pickpockets and PK while looking through the eyes of your bird. However, I imagine that coding all that would be a hassle. Maybe just start off with the first mechanic.

this picture was one of the first things i saw that gave me an impression of MO, a Hawker on Horseback, alas it was not to be, the closest it got was demon bats
Just wanted to add to the idea of tamed Avians (Hawk, Osprey and Parrot). Regarding idea of increasing the value of immersive player housing Tamers should be able to tame songbirds for placement in cages; the cage could be made by woodworking and the songbird would add an audio aspect to the players house via it's song. It's a small detail that I don't really expect to be implemented but it doesn't hurt to add some more ideas.
