These birds are quite strong!



Is there any reasonable way to protect against these guys flying off with my stuff?  I mean I'm intending to do work outside, and somehow parrots keep swiping my wheelbarrows.

Crossbows, roof over storage areas and if you have hallways/doorways chain dogs in them to scare the birds away.  Keamen are worse since you cant butcher them for bone bolts to scare away coughkillcough.

once needed almost a whole season for the traders to finish unpacking because Keas would come harrass them.  had never seen any of the birds before they showed up, and never saw any after they left.  Very strange.

Ah the dreaded kea... just be glad they arnt giant.

Get some marksdwarves patroling the area. Although be ready for the surface to be a nightmere scene of blood, bird corpses and broken bolts.

Be very glad they aren't, because mine ARE giant and believe me, a flock of Giant Keas will ruin your whole day unless you're ready for them.

It's nice to know that even a wrestler can take them down if they get close enough to the ground. You should probably set you stockpiles up inside if you haven't yet. 4 levels down with 1 staircase gaurantees that the get noticed before the theivery.

I got hit with a wave of flying Keamen, but they only seem to want to scare my dwarves and to get shot by my marksdwarves. Bit odd.

In my current fort I am plagued by Kea Men/Women, they are stealing my artifacts. My dorfs insist on bringing every goods bin I have outside to collect socks, so I have marksdwarves patrolling, but they cannot be everywhere all the time, especially since my last battle was a bloody mess with goblin corpses lying all over, in the far north as well as the far south of the map. I have lost two artifacts so far.

[Loud Whispers]

They flee from militia Dwarves. Most of the time.

Make an artifact only stockpile deep within the fortress behind airlocked doors and a constant guard of war giant tigers.

They always seem to go for the weapons I embark with before I can get them inside

Why didn't I think of that myself? Thanks for the tip, the construction workers are on their way. But it will be a giant leopard, I have run out of tigers.

[krenshala]

Wouldn't giant war badgers be more effective?  Or would they be too effective?

Even guard kittens would be adequate, it is mainly their for the sight it grants.  if you use a 1xn or 2xn hallway to the chamber you only need a single guard animal, if you have 3xn you will need 2.

HINT: They kill dogs (thats 120 Points wasted).
