My wishes have wings season 5

Welcome to bird lovers season 5

This season I wished a lot of birds after some work on shorebirds, the gallinaceae this year will be that of Bucerotidae.
I think they will be relevant in the next choices especially after this "Tsunami" in the years to come in the toy factories.

A special year because I decided that, during confinement last summer on my campsite in the Vosges.
After health problems, partial unemployment, I had to take care of the kitchen ....... what better than sculpture and painting to flourish
I made all kinds of animal and bird figurines that I would like to see one day produced by big firms by professionals.

In my collection of birds there is a great void in the Piciformes Woodpeckers and toucans + hornbill) ... which I am slowly filling this year. I added Woodpeckers, Toucans and Aracaris.

I learned to be patient and not to rush, here is the world map with the elected officials!    
The series is almost finished maybe still some adjustments and finishes, but I'm quite happy with the results

BEAUTIFUL so far!

Very meticulous sculpting!

Thank you very much Bonnie and Alain
I thought about putting more mass on the wings, since this summer it has lost volume

easy to do!

My friends      
In addition to the Calao  
Here is a new selection of birds from around the world, which I would love to make if I find the time!
The American continent is on the right track and the first models are taking shape and their chirping can be heard already at home.

The list and the achievements are not fixed ... here is an overvie
