On a completely different tone, I've discovered that the doves, are in fact swallows. Horray!

Hello Billy Squeek, the doves are swallows? How did you manage to come to that conclusion? I've never actually thought about what they are, but I did notice their forked tails. They do look like swallows and I'm sure they're based on them. I actually don't believe them to be swallows because swallows come from earth. I am corfortable with just calling them "birds". Did you see at the end of Abe's Oddysee the crowd of hundreds of Mudokons, when the birds came they excitedly chimed among themselves "the birds...the birds are coming!" --then when Abe and Bigface appeared from the birds-- "...it's Abe!! Abe!!" I loved that scene.

Well, I suppose you could call them ust birds, but what about the crow and owl sounds in Scrabania and Necrum? And bees and bats come from earth too.

I don't know why we gotta talk on something so trivial as the birds man...the birds are unimportant parts of Oddworld...I don't see why they matter! Besides, do you think the developers are going to go to the trouble to say "Hey! Let's make the birds northeastern swallow-tails!" Man, this bird talk is a waste of time.

He was proved wrong, however, when a further 39 replies were made that flatly disagreed with his views.
And Alcar, the Exoddus Club was made by the fans of Oddworld that thought the GT Forums weren't good enough. However, after about 2000 fabulous posts, everybody came to the Oddworld Forums, and our little community is almost dead. We've nearly reached 3000 posts, but we're pushing our luck. The Oddworld Group (whose most famous member is Paul O'Conner who wrote the great Designer Diaries) is also dead, and even these beloved Forums are getting big and crouded. Sigh, good times.
