[Feedback: U42 - U??] Flying Pets - Please let them sit!

I know this is far from priority right now, but anyway, a very old request:

Please let flying pets sit!

I logged into PTS and absolutely LOVE my Eyebright Raven! Thank you! But it would be great if he (and other flapping pets, like Sorc Twilights) could sit down, similar to illusion dragons. These sitting animations are already in the game and would be a real QOL feature for players: the flapping gets in the way of the camera and becomes irritating, even more when there's many pets in one area like a bank. If I'm standing still, arguably my pet should be sitting most of the time.

I know it's just a 3D model, but it kinda makes me feel bad for them to see them flapping so hard all the time :(

Thanks

EDIT:
Also in housing. I wish he could sit next to Peddler and Baron instead of flapping for his dear life, ad infinitum.

    Is the EYEBRIGHT RAVEN PET any better than any other pet? Or is it just a flying raven ?

    It would be awesome if pets interacted with your character when idle. Eg a smaller flying pet - like the Raven - sits on your shoulder.

    You pat your pet, play with them. Etc.
    Crown Crates are a trap. Don't fall for the gamble! Balance? What Balance? Balance, smellance.
    Necro for them RP feels.

    It's a normal non-combat pet.

    I think shoulder-sitting may not happen; it'd be harder to do than sitting on the ground/nearby surface idles that are already in the game. Surface sitting would be a huge QOL improvement for (AFAIK) relatively little work.

    Simple petting and other animations would be awesome and worthwhile though.

    I agree. Let them sit like the dragon imps.

    Is it an endless flapping owl? That is just cruel. And sad.

    I don't use flying pets, because the constant motion can be a problem for me.

    I'd love this change.

    I now own about 5 beautiful bird pets that I would love to have in my homes. I'm making a harry potter build and being able to put the snowy owl on a perch would be perfect for it. Alas this is currently impossible due to them CONSTANTLY FLAPPING! Their poor wings always going. Its not a hummingbird ZOS, they don't need to fly forever!

    I'm more than happy to have them flapping and zooming about in the air when pathed along, but when stationary could you please make it so they sit, even for just a little bit? Thank you!
    Let’s have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.

    At this point I believe ZOS keeps the flying pets flying just to annoy the player base.
