Thanks for raising this, i've amended it, I've also noticed the Sun conure which shouldnt have been released had duplicate portraits so ill update that whilst im at it. It'll be save game compatible however you might just need to reselect your portraits for any pre designed empires, otherwise it'll still pull through as macaw rather than avian

Small problem, i think you may have made it so that other avian portraits are classified as "Macaw" instead of avian.

Brilliant, I’m glad. It was an oversight on my half because these types of civics didn’t exist back when I initially made this. Just happy for others to enjoy. I’ll probably keep adding extra bits when I’m bored, added a sun conure in on the latest version accidentally. Thanks for popping by

This mod is perfect for my Treasure Planet^H^H^HHunter run :-) I actually had made a local mod to make the Macaws avian, so thank you for that update. In addition to certain civics, having them classified as avian also help with some trait mods that add species-specific traits like Magpies (pop growth increases as trade value increases)

Very cool mod. but is not better made separated portraits instead all this cool birds in only one portrait ?

Awesome!

@Dishiestglobe you'll be happy to know that not only have does this tweak seem to be save game compatible but you should now be able to use the Selective Kinship Civic, I'll look to publish it in about 30 minutes time.

I see, thanks for replying. I’ll have a look into it for you, no guarantee on timeline though as it will potential break existing save games for people. Will look at potentially having a separate version for you

Putting them would allow you to properly use the Selective Kinship Civic, which doesn't work properly with the current classification because there's only one species type that classified as "Macaw". That, and it would make more sense to classify them as Avaians in my opinion.

Hi there, apologies for not responding sooner. I chose to make it its own class initially to be a bit more mod compatible, as it’s a unique classification. With the new portrait scripting I could try and do this. The only thing I would ask out of naivety is what would this do for you/enable you to do? Will look into it potentially :)

Hey, is it possible for you to re categorize the parrot portraits as Avian?

You are most welcome, apologies for the long term hiatus, I've more or less had to relearn most of the modding. Please do let me know if something doesn't work as intended though.

Mr.Masaraki, thanks so much! The space Parrot was my first race that i played in Stellaris and make it look better and without that stupid glass is a very nice gesture.
Thanks for making stellaris a little more special for me and others!

Hi Everyone apologies for the long term hiatus, this mod has just been updated, please let me know of any issues.

Kind regards

can you do Spix's Macaws please

Please Corvid mod

Please, update this mod for the newest build.

Plz, i need the Macaws!!!!!!

Yay!

Now I can RP an empire of Eric the Legend, & tell all the Xenos: "Shooo ya bastards!"

Hello :) I will try and do an update in the next couple of weeks

Plz, uptade, i love your mod!!!! cant play space parrot empire with that stupid helmets!!!!!

Any chance we could get the "Bare Eyed Cockatoo" (i.e., Eric the Legend) added :D?

I love those parrots, very well done!!!

Do you have a version with the Bowls included ?

Hi there, it should actually still be working.

I suppose this will eventually have an update in the relatively near future?

Ah poo, I'll have another look over it Kashio :)

OMG finally. I love you. Thanks for updating <333

Actually, the issue does not seem to be fixed on my end apparently even after I re-subscribed, anyone else having the same problem, guys?

With the avian ships being renamed to macaw? It should actually already be fixed :P I'll have a look now :)

I noticed an issue with the avian ships as well, could that be fixed sometime? Really love this mod, thank you so much!

Np :) There will be a minor update in a few days to fix some minor script errors, such as the avian ships being called macaw ships :P

Thanks for the update, probably my favorite mod for Stellaris.

omfg really? YESSSSS~!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH~!

Okay its updated finally, turns out I had an updated version from about 9 months ago in my mod folder that I thought I uploaded already. I downloaded this version and it was out of date, so apparently I didn't actually upload it, massive derp and huge apologies. Now 2.3.3 compatible :) If people want to take the files for their own purposes for cross compatibility with other races or race packs that's fine, just credit me if public release :)

Sorry for not answering, I've decided that I'm gonna take another look at it and try and get it updated, so stay tuned :)

Hmmm.. it isn't, but.. that does give me an idea... if I made a hacky swap from another race mod's files, maybe, just maybe I could bring this in sheer basic portrait form to 2.3? ... Who knows. Thank you for your thorough answer and time, and thank you for such a good mod anyways

(If I somehow managed to succesfully pull this off, would I have your permission to post my 'hack'? if not I understand)

Unfortunately, I've been out of the modding scene for a while. It worked before the last expansion with only minor issues, I.e. Avian ships showed as Macaw ships, and in order to use the species you'd have to make a race first, then swap to these portraits snd double check your traits etc.

Can't say how It functions now, I'd update it but each expansion reworks code and after utopia I've lost touch. I would have to review it all from scratch and see how it works. If I get a hold of the latest expansion I may have another go at it, but until that happens the answer is I'm not sure.

Sorry if this wasn't the news you was hoping for.

Does this masterpiece still work for 2.3? I'm afraid of pops not consuming energy or food, but Im in desperate need of prettier species and this one is DEFIINITELY prettier than most available atm..

Oh thank you very much!

Hi there, to be honest, with all the game engine updates its become very hard to keep track with how the scripts are now and so on, but I played a little bit last patch, and it still worked even though the version is wrong. I'll look into updating sometime soon though.

I hope you're still alive :D
I totally love your mod and macaws <33
I really wish that you can update your fantastic work by time

oh how i miss this splendid mod.

I wish someone did this for the owl portrait. Make a barn owl one. Ah, that would be epic

Will you be updateing for 2.0? Is this acheivment compatable?

Awesome. Hope the update didnt break too much for you. Just hearing confirmation that its not fully functional, and that there are plans to update it are enough to sate me.

Not yet mate, will work on it when I can hopefully no later than Tomorow :)

Hi, is this still confirmed working for 1.9.x?

Hey Veladus, kinda one of the seeling points for me too :P As an Ornithologist /nerdy gamer there are some things I'm limited to, my animation skills are non existent and my photoshop skills lacking. Would love to work on Cockatoos as I love them almost as much as the rest of the Psittacines but I'm honestly stuck and don't have the time to learn the software etc so. Will see how things go in the future though :)

Oh my god! I LOVE this mod! I'm such a huge parrot fanboy that finding out I can play as parrots is what got me off the fence and bought Stellaris. So these, compared to the generic vanilla ones... Anyhow. No love for the cockatoo superfamily? But they have so much love for us! Is it the crests? I can see how that'd be difficult to do, especially if you wanted to animate them. If it is possible though, at the very least palm cockatoos would be a perfect fit, don't you think? A lot of folks say they find them to be sort of alien looking.
