Falconry

Falconry. A new skill that allows you to build a relationship with the crows by feeding them a new item created by preparing fresh guts or other specific food items. Can also be researched using books. 

1. Each level increases the chance crows appear over a carcass. Right now, they seem really unreliable. Each level also unlocks more food items you can use to feed them. 

2. Flying crows and the number of crows in the flock now have a purpose and warn you of incoming weather changes, or maybe even an aurora. Each level unlocks the meaning of a certain formation. 

3. Crows can now be called using the navigation radial by whistling or using a whistle. They can help you by showing the direction towards the closest shelter or carcass. Will only work if you have prepared fresh guts/certain food in your inventory. Each level increases the chance that a crow will respond. 

4. When calling a crow there is a chance that it will bring you a small gift like arrowheads, ammo casings, hooks, cat tail stalks, feathers, fishing tackle, etc. 

5. At the highest levels crows now have a chance of distracting a charging wolf. Even a few seconds can allow you to get into a house or car, or pull out a flare or weapon.

Interesting idea..😊.   It would be nice to have some kind of interaction with them .   They are very intelligent animals after all.

There's actually a channel on Youtube called 'Falconry and me'. It's a lady and her raven/crow and they are so smart. They really do bring you gifts too. Very interesting.
