1:10 Please note that as of the Tallbird update last year, small birds and smallish-tallbirds no longer trigger tooth traps.

So, a dream is all it takes for them to remain a child, pretty poetic.

Small reminder that smallbird raising system was introduced before sanity system

Thank you for this. Man, I remember teenager me stealing an egg and then realizing you could hatch it. That really excited me and I loved my birdie. I was in so much pain when it suddenly attacked me 🥲

Tallbirds are like a card game archetype that the devs forgot about. Just like those unloved archetypes, tallbirds deserve some love. Maybe create a coop system? Or maybe buildings to make this strategy viable? Or maybe a buildable that can cover an empty nest which pacifies the birds and allows them to be recruited? I think the community would react positively to any form of tallbird support.

FINALLY! I'm so glad someone found a way to keep these guys. Honestly, I think it's really messed up and not very fun to have them turn on you after all the work you put into raising them. I understand that it (sort of) works in terms of story, but the gameplay suffers deeply for it. Thanks for this!

Seems like a design flaw that this bird that has imprinted on you suddenly is like "NoW I mUSt kiLL paREnt" Unless, I guess, adult tallbirds are all aggressive to each other, but...

I think they should change the system a lil, they shoud be passive towards u when they become tallbirds, but they wont fight for u, instead when they lay an egg, the egg will hatch to become a smallish tallbird that will fight for you, as a reward i guess, but when they grow old they are neatrual

Please DST devs hear our prayers and lemme be a dad and keep the tallbirds friendly to me

Me who has been eating Tallbird eggs this entire time: 👁👄👁

I remember how fustrated i felt when he finally grew up i went from "yooo nice" to "Really? All this effort for nothing..."

"Forever" if you don´t log out ;)

I really WISH they make this a real intended feature legimately years after raising tallbirds became a thing and only now this is discovered

Wish friendly tallbirds could stay friendly

Tall Bird, they are such an iconic mob in the game, I remember when I google about it, and how to hatch them. Man the many attends to keep them alive, the many hours lost because they die so easily.

man, you make real good and infomative videos thought about making a cool army of tallbirds before but quickly abandoned the idea after learning the limited time thingy personally, i think that feature should be removed by klei so more people will atleast try it but you managed to do it for them, thanks!

0:33 "murder monster that try to kill who grew them" you literally killed their mother and took them away💀

webber mains: look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

Your videos are actually so good, crazy interesting and even useful too

We need to start a petition for Klei to answer our wishes

4:28 Tallish Smallbird hahahaha lol that’s very cute when you say it seriously

There should be a mod that stops them from tall birds like a food.

on dedicated servers, i'd guess that they will be left behind at the spot you disconnected/changed shards at. they'll be considered "unbonded" until you rejoin or someone else gets close enough, or maybe they'll simply be neutral. heck, maybe they WILL grow onto fully grown tallbirds. either way, if they do not change into fully grown tallbirds, they'll still be left behind and can starve to death!

army of man children acquired somehow I came across two naturally occuring Smallish Tallbirds attacking a regular Tallbird to death, I was very confused because I'm pretty sure they're only supposed to happen through player intervention.

Not forever after all 💔

He had us in the first half

you should add "Exploit" to the title, as it is clearly an unintended exploit (signified by reloading server fixing tallbird state)

idea time: “Loyal Tallbird” Same stats as a tallbird, but instead is loyal to the person who grew them. Their max hunger doubles as well. They do not murder you or your friends (unless you attack them) I don’t know how it should look, but you can decide. You are allowed to name them since they are truly loyal to you now, and they give a small sanity gain. 1 every second. I don’t know if smallish tallbirds can go into caves, but if they can’t. Loyal tallbirds DO go in the caves. The loyal tallbird will crap out an egg every like, 10 - 15 days. Way more time than a normal tallbird. BUT they get mad if you take it, So watch out. If you want a loyal tallbird, you must meet these requirements: Keep hunger above half (30) Make sure it is never below 15% HP dont feed it rot or any spoiled food. THATS ALL I CAN THINK OF THANKS

If they don't improve or make it so you can keep these birds then why not just make a mod that does that so we don't have to suffer from putting so much effort into raising a bird just for it to attack you once it's an "adult"

Thank you for posting this video, I didn't even know you could get followers in this game. Having Iraq lobsters and pigmen following me makes things so much easier, and I'm working on raising my first tallbird now.

I love raising tall birds but the fact that they turn on you is pretty messed up

Huh so this hypothetically possible without mods.

I think the best follower is bunnymen, the only thing we need is a single carrot then multiplied it by make the chaos between them, 2 days later make an army with it, this tallbird needs alot of panflute, panflute came from mandrake which is quite rare if u play survival mode.

wow this was a v niche discovery! thank u

Should build walls around it

Wouldn’t this be cool if it was intentional like what if the transmission from smallish to tall is at a certain point when the smallish body is ready to become tall some thing triggers in there brain to cause a serge of aggravation make something switch on in there brain and the pan flute calms the nerves through inducing sleep

This is like the rapunzel story I had to wall them off from the world and drop food occasionally for them it was so sad cause I also fought a bunch of hounds to keep them 😢

Very cool. This seems great if you want their nests in specific places, since it's hard to wall them when they are big. Reminds me of the krampus glitch, so it might work with an ice staff? Also, do you still need to feed them after they grow up?

It would be cool if you can ride tallbirds like a mini at walker.

great video!

well, the strongest follower that you can have outside the caves is the crafted salamander(600 hp, 40 damage) crafted by Wormwood, it deals 2 damage more than the smallish-tallbird

Wait for the year of the tallbird

I like turning them into an egg farm Tall Scotch eggs my beloved

It's actually good if they won't follow you everywhere. I don't want to risk getting them killed while raiding a boss or fighting hounds. Just fence them, keep them away from danger and remember to feed them everyday until they grow up and build nests. That's all I expect.

2:48 he finally gets to the point

Forever unless...

Saw someone commented about how this game is actually a horror movie, well killing the raised bird is one

I guess that's how teenage works

niiiiiiice i dont even know you did find this mush be hard thx man

Infinite tsukyiomi

meanwhile me (a wigfrid main) going around my map clapping the cheeks of every tallbird I find and stealing their eggs just to have food during winter and summer (I can't bother to stay away from a campfire)

Man, i think even with this trick, isn't worth.

Seems like a bug, maybe Klei will fix it

That thud that plays when you cancel the transformation makes my hair stand

1:18 *Me with my 120+ seeds in the first year* WRONG sir, you are WRONG. 😂

We need a mod that prevents them from reaching adulthood

Here before it gets patched

1:33 got me laughing

thats a thing you CAN DOO WHAT

I saw tallbird killing baby tallbird

Wait so when you save and end it turns your tallbird against you

as useless as one would expect this to be, but maybe a fun thing once a blue moon or something

Aw man I didn't think about hatching them, I just fried the egg 😰

great

Tall birds deserve nothing but pain in suffering

nah this is gotta be fake, no way i only found this out after playing for 5 years, i feel like i just discovered cosmical knowledge the gods kept away from me.

1:00 My brain:Death fauder/bait

the devs really should add this into the game. why would they betray the one who raised them once they turn into adult

Wait so what is the point of it if looking out gets rid of it??

I don't think it is a bug.

I got my tallbird to extinction by accident by making dragonfly fly through the only tallbird nest in the entire world, can I get them back? I play on regular don't starve

so... bug or feature?

Does this work on single player dont starve too?

Anyway can we befriend monster too in dont starve pocket edition??

4:56 stops working if you exit the game?? So only good for one day (IRL) of game play???

does this work in don't starve solo?

Noice

If you love them let them free… then eat them.

2:48

4:28

That's literal nonsense

They are ebik

This is a race condition.

Is this ai voice,

Jesus Christ Loves YOU All
