Birds are annoying enough without touching falling dead ones killing you. Not only is this really a pain in the butt the damage is ridiculously huge for it too. Saying 'death throes' doesn't help, also. Floran and apex are fluffed as pretty physically strong, especially floran. If =I= don't get to do this, enemies shouldn't either. Please get rid of this? I honestly thought it was a bug until someone told me otherwise.
There is nothing more annoying than dodging a volley of one hit kill projectiles then getting knocked off a mountain by the exploding bird. P.S. All birds are Wizards in Starbound.
