In the first photo, two nice birds, do you have a brand name ?

Lovely birds!

I like the pose of the bird in the front of the photo.

Many thanks Bonnie and Fernando :)

Very charming and rare models

Without you, Andreas - and Fernando- , I would have no idea of the treasure of models that exist

Thank you Susanne

Next one: the kokako (Callaeas cinerea). I did a bit more smaller than I should, but when I realized it was too advanced for restart...
I chosen to do the nominate subspecies (Callaeas cinerea cinerea), with orange wattles. The body and the toes are made of WePAM and the wings, tail and head with Fimo Air. This is the bird that have thinner toes of all what I've made. WePam allows to do much more delicate structures than SuperSculpey with lesser risk of breakage. Tarsi are wires.

I painted the lores black with acrylic but the eyes and bill with a pen for get the very glossy appareance that both structures have. Unfortunately, I failed. I think that FimoAir don't allow a so smooth surface as for make a figure glossy.

The South Island kokako is like the quagga: the nominate subspecies went extinct while non-nominate subspescies still thrive. However, unlike the plains zebra, the remaining kokako subspecies (the North Island one, Callaeas cinerea wilsoni, with blue wattles) is critically endangered. If it disappears, a whole genus will do, following its cousin the huia and leaving the whole Callaeidae family with just a single species instead the three they used to be.

Here all my passerines. I know, scale went crazy here. Kokako is a bit small, and by other hand the rockfowl is enormous.

Five beautiful birds,

Thank you Fernando

Yes five magnificent birds Andréas
To repaint or not!
I particularly like the Eurasian Nuthatch to the right of your image

There is no figure that resembles even vaguely a nuthatch in this batch. The one on the right is clearly a wren.

These birds are beautiful, I love that lively wren, it's the first model I've seen of this species!
