Birds

The Bird is a flying background character that cannot harm players. Birds have only 5 health, and can be damaged by other mobs including the player, which almost always results in their instant death.

The Bird is white and small (possibly resembling a dove), much like the bat or cave bat. They are found on ground level and are as common as a bunny. Much like the Vulture, the Bird remains still until approached, whereupon it will fly away.

Tips
Bird Statues spawn Birds when hooked up to a wire and are an excellent way to farm Bird Banners.
