Owls not doing Tricks? (Olm the Wise)

[Blaix]

is this a Blizzard thing or is something glitchy on my end? I tamed Olm the Wise, command him to do a Trick, I see the cooldown go off but no trick... what gives?

[Chimera]

It should mention that larger birds may not be interested ;3 They have the ability cause of the family placement, but they dont perform any tricks

The owl model does not have a trick animation. From my bird of prey family thread:

Birds of prey are known for doing tricks, where they flip in the air. Not all models can do this trick. While in game it says "larger birds may not be interested," tricks are not determined by size but by the age of the model. Birds of prey models introduced before the druid flight form cannot do tricks. These are owls, parrots, and black stormcrows except the Daggercap Hawk. Birds of prey that can do flips are eagles, the undead eagles, seagulls, brown stormcrows, and the Daggercap Hawk.

oy! my oversight... i think olm would like to show off his flips

Yeah, they're on different skeletons. I prefer the animations of the hawk models though, I wonder if Blizzard will ever change the old owl/vulture skeletons.
