Excellent work! I don't know much about birds and can't tell from the post - but is it's chest deep enough? I mentally see hawks with a broad, deep chest - guess I should go surf to some pictures which you probably already have. Maybe it is just it's relative size to the beak... or does the hood also cover the beak.

heyas; i'd say primary and secondary wing feathers. or at least a wing cover on the back. i dont know what the heck an australian shaking falcon looks like, either, so that's all i can say. :)

I think it need to be taller and have a bigger chest (yeah sounds like a Radio City Music Hall Rockette). Right now the shorter body shape makes it look a bit like a parrokeet (with the exception of the feet). Regardless it looks great. Of course, I can't model at all so my critism should be taken with a grain of salt.

Cool. Maybe a slightly puffier chest and slightly smaller head? Just a thought- with slight modification and a folded wings pose, this would also make a great "Maltese Falcon", from the movie.

Agreed! If those wings could fold it would be perfect for the Maltese Falcon. Then I would HAVE to have it for my collection of...er...stuff. "It's the stuff that dreams are made of" jje
