Description
A lifesized female budgerigar. The body is made of viscose, wings, tail and feet of suedine with wire armature, beak and claws are modelled with epoxy putty. I'm still working on a partner for her.More pictures: [link]
Edit:
When I opened DA and saw over 400 Feedback Messages I first tought there has to be a serious technical issue. 
Now I'm just slowly regaining consciousness. A Daily Deviation?! Thank you sooo much, that's a dream coming true!

Very nicely done. I had to look twice whether it was the real thing or not. The feet gave it away though ^^

Yes, I'll definitely have to remake these ugly feet.

Also gar nicht wie meine echten Wellis es gewesen sind... die sind immer abgehaun, wenn ich sie streicheln wollte

Fantastic job with sculpting this beauty!

Haha omg at first I thought it was real and was going to joke with you asking how you got it to be so still and that it almost looked.. let's say 'not alive'. But now I can see that it's not real, good job really the color is just like my bird's

My train of thought; huh, what a nice photo...good focus. *Starts reading the information* Huh? Why isn't this under stocks, I mean it's a picture of a bird -- OMG IT'S A PLUSHIE?!
That's amazing, the only way I could tell was after staring at the talons for a little bit. So good!

Have you thought about making these for people? If so, I would love to inquire about possibly having a little model made of one of my beloved birds.
Congrats on the Daily DD, I saw this on DA this morning before it became a DD and thought it was amazing.
Great Job!

I could make you a commissioned bird, but it would be expensive (and I guess shipping to USA also won't be cheap). But send me a note if you are still interested.

Yes, the legs are her greatest flaw. I'll try to fix that before showing her together with her green partner.
