Mutating birds are causing a problem

[Kacpert25]

In addition to transforming into the Bright-Beaked Bird, all birds can also transform into the Misshapen Bird and Moonblind Crow. Unlike the Bright-Beaked Bird, these birds are unable to fly away. As a result, the world is slowly becoming overcrowded with them.
Could it be added so that the Misshaped Bird and Moonblind Crow could fly away after a while or despawn off-screen instead of remaining permanently in the world?

 

I recommend checking out my other post about much worse problems resulting from the last update.

Haven't played since the update, but I wonder if Klei can make them starve like Pengulls.

what links whole swarms of Brighstshide plants to the new lunar birds??? THERE’S NO GETTING RID OF THEM

Them not despawning has been an issue since moon storms. I always have lots of them lying around after I do a storm event bc they don't despawn. Maybe they could work like the frogs, and despawn when unloaded.

Maybe post about it in the bug reports section with a video showcasing the problem?

Klei fixed the recent issue with the Buzzards super fast once people shared that, so maybe that can happen too if they're made aware of the problem.

... I think. I dunno if this is an actual bug, after all.

Idea of world getting filled with more and more zombies seems cool to me but: a) they dont have hive mind and cant combine into deadly hordes; b) there is non illusional chance of servers slowly succumbing to those birds and lag especially knowing how klei handled spiders.

So yes, until klei makes significant changes to zombified mobs it would be good if those birds despawned off screen. Currently player almost never interacts with them but they still strain server more and more over time.
