You must have the most impressive collection of bird miniatures in the world
And each and every one is not only beautyful, they are Luc-art

I love this shelf, because it has all your bird masterpieces!
I especially love the Goldfinch, I love these beautiful birds and your model is amazing!

Looking at these pictures for the 100th time, it suddenly strikes me : Why has no brand made a Common hill myna ????
This beautyful, fun, clever, charming bird is probably known by all bird lovers.

PS, Luc, do you know why it is called religious in French ??

Wow wow wow, many nice species

First of all thank you very much Susanne and Bonnie,Andréas
Your words go straight to my heart
I am aware that my collection of birds is becoming incredible in diversity, I am contributing again this year!
The thistle is a pretty bird from our countryside I would love to see it made by Papo ---- after their magnificent robin this year.
Susanna as far as the religious mynah is concerned I don't know -- --- maybe seen from the top of her head makes one think of a monk's skull ???? with its crown of skin!
To see with a real ornitologist?

Wow, your figurines and displays are just wonderful
You have so many wonderful species, and you display them so well

Thank you very much Ivar

French common names of animals and plants are for the most part just their scientific names.

According to Wikipedia, the specific epithet religiosa of this scientific name may come from the practice of making this bird, excellent sound imitator, to repeat the prayers of religious people in it's native range.

I see you have an extra New-Ray Cormorant. Why not trade it to me? I've been looking really hard for those.

I agree, the best birds collection, with nice jobs.

So many nice bird figures.

thank you to all of you

Here is a new bird migration from Asia!

Happy that they arrived at the right destination after a long trip chosen for the end of year  
celebrations, they are finally in my collection!
I put you a group image

All of them are beautiful, so many interesting species and wonderful choices for your collection!

That white-tailed sea eagle is in my wishlist! I asked Brettjn about it in my last purchase but none was for sale then.
The giant kingfisher must be really tiny, and maybe the right size for my collection too!
I was totally unaware about a figure of the extinct Crested Shelduck has been made ever!
