Appearance:
The Hollerbird would essentially be a large bird, larger than the player, that somewhat looks like a pale green dodo bird. It would have a blue sac on its throat that it uses to make vocal sounds. It would have a large, tube-like beak.
Behavior/Rarity:
The Hollerbird is neutral. The Hollerbird would occaisionally look upward, inflate its vocal sac, and emit a loud holler, sounding like a bit like a howler monkey. It could also make shreiking sounds. These sounds could be heard from a long ways away. It would mainly roam around on land, but it would occaisionally fly straight up into the air, and soar somewhere else. The Hollerbird is about as rare as a Spider Jockey.
Attacking/Health:
The Hollerbird would attack by pecking at you with its beak, for 4 hearts of damage. Also, if you are within 5 blocks of it when it hollers, it will push you back. The Hollerbird has 20 hearts.
Drops/Crafting:
It would drop its Vocal Sac, or a Beak. These could craft a Horn, which when used emits a loud hunting horn-ish sound. It frightens passive mobs, and would be a good way to let people know where you are in Multiplayer.

Summary:
The Hollerbird would be a unique mob that gives players something challenging to hunt for. It has new drops which have the possibility for more uses than I provided. The Horn is also a unique addition that has a few good uses, and can possibly have more uses added to it.
I am not saying that your idea is bad, because I love it actually, I just think that, and I keep saying this every day, that you should have the milk before you go and bake a cake. There aren't any normal birds out there yet and I think those should be implemented at first.
You're right. I was thinking that too when I made this, but I didn't really want to just wait for birds.
So you basically want a Qurupeco from Monster Hunter?
I believe there's some sort of big Monster Hunter mod/suggestion going on at the time.
Maybe you should ask them about it.
The only problem is, if this is ever made, it will most likely NOT be in vanilla Minecraft.
With the creatures that exist in Minecraft (Zombies, Skeletons, Giant Spiders... and Wolves soon) Notch seems to be sticking to more classic ideas. Something as complicated as this is unlikely to be used, except in a mod.
I don't want to discourage you - I think it's a good idea, but I'm just expressing the thought that out of the tens of thousands of suggestions made, few of them actually become implemented.

I will start making a banner. :biggrin.gif:
that is very awesome.
but i kinda like it anyways....
They could follow the direction of the sound. And also, birds could fly out of nearby trees.
You're right. I was thinking that too when I made this, but I didn't really want to just wait for birds.
:biggrin.gif: im curious!
I can't actually make a graphic myself, but it would look like a mix of these two:
