This is my attempt at realism, and I will be trying to do that a lot more. I made this with a field guide to raptors of the world, and several of my store-bought toys to help me.

I have to figure out a better way to get it to stand on its own. I know the leg/tail configuration is a bit wonky, and will fix that next time to get it to balance better. The tail should probably be a bit longer too.

Now that I've mastered the sitting quadruped and the perching raptor, guess what I'm going to try next? ;)
