Small update today - increasing volume of all sounds. I'm finally playing the game and noticed they were a bit quieter than vanilla birds. Hopefully this should help solve at least some of the "I'm not hearing them" issues people have been having.
I do still plan on adding more birds in the future! Just wanted to put this small update out right now since I had it ready.
Thank you for making this!!! Definitely needs blackbirds for sunsets and sunrises :D I was actually looking specifically for them, but any birds are good.
Oh god I was only thinking the other day about how I should step into the world of modding and apply more bird songs into the game, but thought I check first in case someone did this exact thing.
Low and behold this mod.
Not sure yet what the total number of birds are included but like you say Zettaiiya Blackbirds yes !!!, Wood pigeons, ambient Gulls by the sea, Cuckoo, Woodpecker, Crow etc.. basically all UK bird songs maybe as I am biased and from UK.. ? :)
+1 I've been searching for a mod that has an owl hooting sound effect forever and this is the closest mod I've found, if there's ever going to be an update please consider adding one! :D
Additional vote for owl sounds. Also maybe crow and raven calls in daylight? Gulls and other shorebirds by the sea would be marvelous too. so excited to get bird sounds. Did not realize that I was missing them until I heard them.
Sounds of Skyrim Complete has all of those and more. It even has an MCM so you can switch on and off any sounds you choose if you dont like them. It is fully compatible with this mod too.
I would love to have Owls too and Blackbirds. Having a Blackbird singing his melancholy song in the sun set, are very soothing. Just listen to the Beatles song - Blackbird. I belive that Lark song for the tundra would be a good thing too.
Hey there! I was stoked when I saw you'd added whip-poor-wills and mourning doves, but... I've sadly not heard them at all. I know you say it should be conflict-free, but is it possible I'm having a conflict anyway? I've roamed around the Pine Forest for a considerable length of time, day and night, but nothing. I am however hearing considerably more eagle/hawk cries though, I swear. I'm using a ton of bird mods, including Birds and Flocks, Birds of Skyrim, and skyBirds, plus other ambience mods like Sounds of Skyrim. If there is a conflict, I don't even know where I'd begin.
I suggest opening up the .yaml in the mod and increasing the percentage chance to suit your tastes. Version 1.01 has the chances set to 2%-3%. This is less than the Sound Record Distributor (SRD) default of 5% chance for regions (see SRD's mod description page), so maybe this needs to be increased? I also don't know if the SRD chance is per second or some other time increment.
Nice mod! Such a simple idea, yet it adds a ton of immersion. Kudos. And since you're taking suggestions, I think it'd be cool to hear a woodpecker pecking trees here and there while exploring forests of Falkreath. And owls, Skyrim definitely needs some owls!

This is my first time using it, but I tested it and heard the birds, so all should be good.

Using this mod seems like a great replacer for the old sound mods.

I'd like to hear owls at night. Perhaps the great grey owl? It looks like the ancient Nord totem and has an impressive call.
Also second the night-time whip-poor-will. Our back yard birds rock under our window all night...
