for some reason this looks like a wood carving to me, maybe its the textures of the feathers

I think it would be very cool to see it turned into a wood carving, must be great practice!
He's just very regal posing like this I think

He does look a bit like Buckbeak; somebody else mentioned his likeness to a hippogriff too

He wasn't standing still for very long at any time, being too intrigued by the new feeling for the wind through his moulting wings. Even the bark of the wood he was standing on felt differently to his feet

From the thumbnail I thought he was a Hippogriff. Such a pretty birb!

Makes you wonder if he’s going to take flight, or simply stand there looking majestic.
Great capture!

Hehe, I think he wanted to, but he was moulting so not sure how well it would have gone
Thanks!

Love the intensity of his eyes.
Also, you can see the wing shape and structure so well.
Explains why they are such great at soaring.

The light really helps set of his eyes! He was in a peculiar mood; moulting and everything feeling new and odd to him. Quite amazing to see
He was showing off his full beautifully! Love seeing them in flight too, those wings sure do help him soar
