Its to bad that such a cute and beautiful bird has to be so destructive. What a wonderful pose he gives you and what a beautiful job you did with it. The colors are so pretty, I love the little dots of cream color on the feathers.The eyes big and bright and the mouth opened enough to see the tongue. The details are incredible. What a beauty this is. Love it. #11434423
