Birds are shy flying Mobs that will fly away from the player when approached. They come in six different varieties: A white Bird (Mourning Dove), a black Bird (Crow), a blue Bird (Grosbeak), a yellow Bird (Canary), a red Bird (Cardinal), and a green Bird (Parrot).
Each Bird variety comes with its own unique sound.
Taming
Birds are now tamed by right-clicking on them with Seeds in hand after dropping seeds. The Bird will eat the Seeds and the naming screen will appear. Once the Bird is named, it will be tamed.
You can right-click on the tamed Bird in order to place it on your head, much like a Bunny. If you have a Bird on your head, it will allow you to glide, meaning you can avoid fall damage and perform long horizontal distance jumps. Tamed Birds will not despawn or fly away from the player.
Tamed Birds can be named by right-clicking on them with a Book or a Medallion, and a Lead can be used on them. If you need to heal your tamed Bird, you can do so by feeding him Seeds (right-click by default).
Tamed Birds cannot be bred.
Wild ocelots and untamed kitties will attack birds.
Trivia
If you ride a Horse while a Bird is on your head, the Horse will gain a significant speed boost; so significant, it's nearly impossible to control your Horse.
