Description Silly thing started a while ago that I’m finished playing with.

The Hoatzin is a type of cuckoo with prehistoric features. They're even born with tiny claws on their wing tips to help them break out of their shells. They unfortunately shed these claws as they mature, but I still think they're pretty cool! This one's pretty stylized - a little chicken-ish. Real hoatzin don't look like this haha.

Also trying out a new logo I made a while ago, but never thought to use it for anything. It's based off of a kingfisher, a tiny, humorous-looking bird. It seemed fitting!

This is a beautiful and friendly looking little guy! I love the textures of the feathers and the tuft on it's head. I wish I had one of these. XD

You're very welcome and I like the kingfisher logo. They are cute birds and I always get excited when I spot the local Belted Kingfishers, there's no mistaking them.

Thanks! The Belted Kingfisher looks so elegant! The tininess really ups the cute factor for Kingfishers.
