UPDATE :: The AS3 version of this file is now available here.
This drag-n-drop movie clip is a self-contained bird that sits on a wire, fence, branch, etc. and does its own thing. It fluffs its wings occasionally and then at some point it flies off into the sky. After a random wait, it flies back to its original position. You can add as many feathered friends as you want and they will all behave independently. Use some scaling/skewing/tinting to make each one slightly different.
By simply changing a few numbers, their behavior can be modified to have more or less chance of doing any of the actions. The flight path uses a Motion Guide layer.
I’ve used this in my own website… ZacharyKnight.com
