Falcons would be awsome to add

Minecraft's current mobs are great and all, but new ones would be cool.  Falcons would be cool, it would be awesome if you could tame them with raw rabbit or raw chicken.  The falcon could perch on your wrist and when you punch in the direction of a mob the falcon would swoop over and attack the mob then perch back on your wrist.  The falcons could be bred with raw rabbit or raw chicken.  The falcons when not on your wrist (press shift to get the falcon off)  they would land on the ground, but they would prefer to perch on a fence.  The falcons would spawn in forests, dark oak forests, those clay biomes (I can't remember the name, I think it's terracotta) and savannah biomes.  The falcons would be pretty rare and when they are wild they would kill chickens and rabbits.  They would get that ring around their leg when they are tamed (they use these IRL to keep track of them)  , the ring would be dyable.

    The falcon will attack the mob you attack. To send the falcon at a target you will need the falconry gloves.

    I think this would be great, it could be easy since there are already parrots in the game! 
    If you were to use the parrots as a base then while its not sitting or on your shoulder it could fly around if there isnt a fence in your chunk, yes it would be cool that you attack to send it out, but it would be inconvenient, but if it were to be on your shoulder when you attack it could come off to help you fight what you're fighting, or if its roaming then when you attack something it would swoop in to help, this would also make hunting more fun, heres an example, you have your bow and you want to kill a cow to get some leather or beef, you shoot the cow and then your falcon swoops down and finishes it off!

    Exactly. Should also be different variants like hawks and eagles. The eagles and hawks should fly more slowly than the falcons too. Could be two diferent kinds of eagle. The Fish-eating eagle (I forgot the name), and the Golden in eagle of the Mongolian Desert. Should exist in different biomes but will always spawn in and have nests in high altitudes. When their nests are approached they fly away . You should stay still and crouch while holding the meat used for taming in your hand. They will slowly approach you and then you could tame them. Kind of like taming stray cats. Also this idea can bring many people together, since a lot of cultures use birds for hunting.

    I hope the Mojang Team take this seriously because it's a really amazing idea.

    What would be nice is if the Falcon was able to carry back the items from the mob kill

    I love this idea. Maybe Mojang could implement this with the upcoming mountain update (peregrine falcons live pretty much everywhere). We definitely need new mob pets, since wolves, cats and parrots are the only mobs that follow without having to use a leash or food.

    The falcon could have variants like the peregrine falcon, and falcons could dive really fast, and if it dove on a player it would hurt the player and have a 50% change to knock them out(the player would wake up in 5 seconds and it would be nighttime by then.If the falcon knocked the player out at nighttime, the player would wake up at daytime.

    Wolves only purpose is to attack mobs you attack. Hi’d love to see Eagles and colored variants for them, as well as mob variants like Hawks and Falcons. However, they should have a unique use to them.

    It would be cool if you could give Falcons a bundle and they would fly back to your base with the bundle and wait on a perch block until you came back. I also think instead of tame Falcons only baby Falcons would trust you because they would imprint on you like with foxes.

    And they could damage you when perching on you unless you're wearing  armor.

    Oh, also i have another idea. Possibly to give them a unique use, when you die instead of teleporting to you they pick up as many items as they can in their talons and beak (max 5) and bring them back to you!

    I love this idea, though I don't think they should be tamed tamed. Perhaps it could be done like foxes where you have to breed your own for it to trust you or maybe a temporary week long tame and then you have to feed it again to tame it again.

    Falconers are not friends with their Falcons and their Falcons are never domestic- they only stick around for the food they've grown to associate you with. I think it should be the same in game.
