If I'd only seen these pictures I would have thought that they were the real thing or at least the product of a taxidermist. Thanks!

Beautiful work Milford. Are you sure you didn't just grab a Blue Wing as it flew by and stuffed it???? Well done.

WOW! That's all I can say.......got a question, though. Are your birds smooties or are the feathers textured? Your painting is so good that I can't tell from looking at them. If they are smoothies, the painting is exquisite, and if they are textured.....well, WOW!
