I added the pelican to my wishlist as soon as I laid eyes on it.   I never thought it would join my collection so fast! I am thrilled. My white peli has a buddy.

Hello, everyone.  
I received the new diving grebe yesterday! Unfortunately, the support piece was missing, so my Little Grebe is posing a bit differently than intended. The seller kindly offered to replace the figure, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. Anyway, here are some pictures. Lighting isn't ideal today, but I am impatient.

Oh, nice to see this bird is available. Congratulations for this must have!!!

Congrats! Very nice figure

Thanks! It was released a lot sooner than I thought it would be.   

Oh, I love it!  What an amazing little figure! I'm getting more and more interest about Kaiyodo.. Those all from Kaiyodo are so beautiful.

Congratulations, Kayla! I'm sure you're happy!

Thank you, Jonas! Yes, I am very happy with each of my Kaiyodo figures! They are delicate works of art for sure!

I do favor my Kitan Club figures a tad more though. Shh...  I only have a few and hope they will release more birds like those from the Nature of Japan series.  

Please excuse me for my absence.    The past few months have been busy, and I even got engaged!     
Anyway, I am happy to finally share these additions from March! I will post the rest of my updates eventually... My collection continues to grow, even though I may come and go from here sometimes. I may procrastinate updating this thread, but it is always fun when I do get around to it!  
   

First up are my first AAA antelopes. They are sort of strange, but I like that.

I was so excited to discover these Noah's Pals gems. When they arrived, I took the female out of the box, saw a horn was missing, and had a moment of panic. I calmed down when I found the horn in the box and inspected it. Thankfully, it had broken off in such a way that would be relatively simple to glue back on. After her minor surgery, she is just fine. I feel lucky to have these antelopes joining my collection!

Finally, a mate for my male kingfisher.

Ohhhh, that grebe     
After seing your photos, I hope very much to get one, too, some day

Big congrats, and welcome back!

Thank you, Andreas, Susanne, and LeeAnn! It is great to hear from you again.

Yes, the grebe is a special little figure.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I adore the toucan!
The raven is a decent model. I was happy to add another corvid to my collection.
I saw wild anhingas this summer!   They have such beautiful feathers, and Safari definitely could’ve painted this figure with more detail. It is still a great species to collect!

Oh yeah… I also got a mini cardinal for fun.

Science & Nature birds (Kakapo, Blue Wren, Kookaburra, Australian Pelican)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Nice bunch!

Finally, here are my birds from August.
K&M birds (Eurasian Bullfinch, European Robin, Eurasian Blue Tit)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
It took several months to find these, but I am learning that certain figures do require waiting, and the patience pays off eventually. In this case, it was much sooner than expected!

Awesome new additions, Kayla The antelopes are all such nice models! Definitely ones that everybody needs to have
I also love the birds, really detailed and nice colors on them :cheers:The pelican is my favorite. Congratulations and thanks for showing them!

Congrats! It's nice to see such a wide variety of species as well as brands.

How time goes! You and your kingfisher already have a mate and I still don't have an ibis!
Kayla, it is good to have you back in good shape on our forum, you don't need to be in a rush to post at once all your additions, you can give some time to your husband, we give you prmission.
Seriously, many great figures and good luck to your new busy life.

Really beautieful newcomers,  all this phantastic birds!! Congratulations!!

Thanks, Jonas! I really admire this pelican too!

Thank you very much, LeeAnn. I am glad there are so many great brands to choose from!

Hello again, Rogério! It's always great to read your thoughtful messages.
Really, no ibis? Surely an ibis will find its way to you someday.

I appreciate that! Don't worry. I won't neglect my husband-to-be.   He's actually still my fiancé until we get married this winter!    Yes, it was a busy summer full of family events and traveling. Things have settled for now, but we've still got a big road trip just over a month away.

Thanks again, Andreas!!!! I am sure it was your collection that inspired me to collect many of these lovely birds!
