This very special bird has a polymer clay face and apoxie sculpt claws for extra strength then painted in acrylics. His body has a faux fur base that was then covered in feathers. The feathers used are all naturally molted from mostly parrots. The black feathers an center tail feather were all dyed by me but the blue wing feathers and yellow belly feathers are natural coloring. This is a created color variation to the king of saxony. This bird has a beak that can open and close, fully articulating wings and tail and posable legs and toes! Made of hand colored and cut vinyl on wire, the long head wires can also be positioned. The bird also comes with helmet armor and body armor. The helmet was made from worbla and is very durable, will not break or crack if dropped. It is painted in acrylic paint. The body armor consists of stainless steel chain mail scales and chains that connect with magnets. 6.5 in.(16.5 cm) tall-13 in.(33 cm) wingspan-8 in.(20 cm) long 17 in.(43 cm) head wires

No birds were harmed in the making! All feathers used were naturally molted from happy and healthy birds!
