Should animals be startled by felling trees?

[PinkGregory]

Thought it a little strange that animals just sit around placidly when yer felling trees, might make trapping/hunting a little more interesting.

What do you think?

I could see it happening, however right now there are few animals in the game. We have birds and rabbits, which would probably be startled, and beefalo (which might not). I'm not sure how the tallbirds would react... since they're so hostile these days. Of course if you're hunting you probably won't be going around chopping down trees in the first place.

On a side note, another player once suggested squirrels and/or chipmunks could live in trees.

Really I don't think it would mess up hunting that much seeing that birds fly into the traps and rabbits are easy enough to kill without one.
