Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my sculpture. I began planning the World Museum of Birds in 2004. Twenty years has 'flown" by (pun intended). 😂 Special thanks to my daughter for unwavering support. There is no doubt I will achieve 400 life size species in 2024.

@HapyHealngVibes Thank you for using the correct term - quantum jump. Quantum leap was a term invented by Hollywood.

For the Desert Exhibit I wanted a Saguaro to show the Gila and Gilded, so I made one. 80 inches tall, 10" diameter, 20 ribs, starting arm(limb), 6000 paint spots, 11 flower buds/blossoms. Whew!- Lot of work. 🥴The Caracara just happened by as I took the picture.🤣

Indigenous people would cook the nestling to obtain oil, hence the name. The young birds can be up to double the weight of and adult, because of high body fat.
Oilbird.

Large pupils give it the highest light gathering abilities of any bird with a retina of up to one million, light sensitive, rod cells per square millimeter.

For the tropical woodlands exhibit. At one end, I will paint the mural as a night scene and will construct a rock wall with cave opening.
Very unique in the bird world, these are the only fruit eating, flying, nocturnal species that uses echolocation.

In my many years as a bird sculptor, I have done three of these beauties. This one was donated to the San Diego Museum of Natural History in 2000. I started visiting their bird exhibit when I was 15.

Elegant Tern - 16" long - 32-inch wingspan.

There are approx.. 48 million bird watchers in the USA alone. If only ONE percent of them donated $3, I would have enough to build the greatest bird museum ever. I currently have 331 life size species ready to display

@elonmusk - I have done something no other artist has done. 375 species, life size, bird sculptures using a technique I invented. I want to build The World Museum of Birds for children and am looking for an investor. Thank you.

@Lizzysilver01 Going to try today. I will get back to you if I need help. Are you on Instagram?

[Wings of Magic @WingsofMagic1]

@Lizzysilver01 I suppose I should just try myself. If there is stuff I can't figure out, I will ask for HELP. 🤣

[Wings of Magic @WingsofMagic1]

@Lizzysilver01 Don't have Face book. Can I open one for a project?

[Wings of Magic @WingsofMagic1]

@ZadenZane Thanks. I am in progress on a Flamingo and a Stork. That only leaves one Order left. I just don't know where I am going to put that Condor. 🥴

Very gregarious, they form large flocks. Nests in tree cavities and usually lays 4 eggs. Eats invertebrates, fruits, berries, seeds, flowers, buds, nectar and sap

These cute little water birds have a role reversal compared to most other species. She pursues and fights for a male partner and then leaves him to incubate the eggs and raise the young, leaving her free to go find another boyfriend.
