Birds

Bird in GTA IV (Pigeon)

Birds are one of the few animals in the GTA series, appearing in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA V, birds that are in the air can be shot down, and their carcass can be viewed on the surface they land on.

Spawning Points

GTA San Andreas

Different birds spawn everywhere around San Andreas.

• Hawks in Bone County and Las Venturas.
• Seagulls on beaches.
• Doves in urban areas around the state.
• Tony the parrot.

Grand Theft Auto IV

• Pigeons, or "flying rats" appear all over Liberty City. Exterminating them all earns a reward.
• Seagulls on beaches.
• Eagles in the trailer. Possibly removed from the final build.

Grand Theft Auto V

• In-game, the player will find seagulls, crows, cormorants, and a few other species of birds which are usually found while flying aircraft. They mostly appear in brown, black, and grey.
• In the enhanced version, the player can fly different species of birds via Peyote Plants.

Grand Theft Auto Online

Peyote Plants were added as part of the continuation of the The Diamond Casino & Resort update; they function like the plants in GTA V, transforming the player into a random animal, some of which are bird species.
