Hawks / owls

[myth-simba]

how about we liven up our little furry pet friends?

i heard rumours pets will be more practical like mining for you and such.
owls can be useful too. but most importantly .. fun.
give your pet owl or hawk a command.
you can make them fly around the islands and watch them on your map, they explore a lot and its nice to have your pet fly alongside your ship at sea. simple tell it to follow you , fly around, and so on. of course commands will be put in place, like /petfollow or something.

but this is where owls / hawks really shine..
Drag and drop a letter on him. The letter will be stored on the owl and type /send *acctname* and watch the owl fly to the person. and they'll get a message telling them they have a letter for them, do they want to gain it. if they decline the owl flies back to ytou, if yes letter appears in inventory and owl flies back to you. owls would be fun to watch aswell. telling it to fly around you may see it fly really far away from you but watch on the map, and if it feels like it, it will fly alongside you when sailing. when its not doing anything, giving it command /stop or something, it just sits there on the grass, maybe sleep a little as normal pets do.
