I have a bright colored bird that does that. Try putting it on the tip of you finger and it may stay

Where do you buy these birds? O: I have been trying to find one for my granda for Christmas. PLEASE REPLY.
You did such an amazing job. O_O I absolutely love the feathures and the way you did the wood. Love the detail of the way you re-defined where the white meets the brown on the neck. Kutos. (:

This is just a hedge since the last time I saw one of these was as a kid but if you have National Geographic stores around where you live, they should have these things.
