Falconry in Skyrim - This Mod is a Work of Passion

If you would like to have a falcon or raven as a companion in Skyrim, you should test the new Falconry mod, which introduces just that to the game. Its author is a fan of MUDs, text-based online RPGs, who while playing as a hunter had a bird companion, specifically a hawk. Driven by nostalgia, he decided to create such an option in Skyrim and the result is an early version of the mod. For a long time the creator struggled with the problem of blocking characters when visiting cities with a bird companion, but eventually the issue was fixed and the result is a properly working mod. It enables players to tame four bird species (falcon, raven, hawk, eagle), However, you can only have one flying friend at a time. You also need an amulet, which you can create from a feather of the chosen bird species (available near the White Mountain), or a book of spells, which enables you to summon the companion during battle.

Bird companions can be called anything you want, they are level 25, immune to threats and so far they only fly around. So far, the feathered pet will not land on our shoulder, but it may change in the next version of the mod. There are also plans to add an owl, vulture, parrot, phoenix and bat. In the future, flying creatures are to be a part of a larger mod, called Realms of the Dragon, containing an additional continent, unique armor and new quests. According to the author, the mod will appear at the turn of 2021 and 2022.
