Maybe im hallucinating but i'm sure i saw some wild smallbird in my world
i've never hatch tallbird egg and in my first days i hadonly one tallbird nest but after a few days (200) i discover a 2d one
Maybe i just didnt saw this one the first time i came here but im pretty sure he spawned after that but it never happened again still 2 nest at 700days so maybe im hallucinating

Yes, wild tallbird eggs hatch into smallbirds now, which get "raised" by its parent. A newly grown tallbird won't create a new nest, though.

If you kill the parent, will the smallbird die and no tallbird respawn ? Or can they still respawn at their nest when killed ?

Dunno. I couldn't find how wild smallbird feeding is being handled. It looks like the game isn't handling it at all, so the wild smallbird will just die in any case (has anyone seen a wild teenbird?).

What I can tell you is that every DS year, when Spring starts, after a delay of a few random seconds the game will check for each tallbird nest if it has a live tallbird. If it does, a smallbird "hatches" (though this doesn't require an egg, and nor does it consume the egg if it's there). If it does not, better luck next year.

So after all this time Klei finally added a somewhat tallbird life cycle?

 

Took them a while, although I'm a bit disappointed it's not in the vanilla game.

This is very nice..i like that. 
Personally I think if you kill the tallbird the smallbird will die eventually,and the tallbird will respawn again in 1-3 days like it was before and starts to hatch an egg after a little time.
Really not sure about it,but its possible.

It seems so, but I hope they'll work on it some more. Right now it feels very unfinished. I had told @aredshroom I would revive my Tallbrood mod, but after I saw a life cycle was being incorporated into the DLC (literally the first thing I checked after buying RoG) I halted those plans (both because this is something that should be in the base game, and not in a mod, and because their addition of a life cycle creates a handful of compatibility issues with my mod, some of which are unlikely to have a clean solution). But seeing how bare bones the current life cycle is, something like Tallbrood might still be "necessary" after all.

And I agree that this should be in vanilla. It'd be nice for Klei to put this addition back in vanilla, since it doesn't have much (if anything) to do with the RoG theme. And as far as the code goes, the only dependency with RoG is choosing Spring as the hatching season.
