Your eagle's eyes and brow really tells you who's in charge - very nice.

The end of the beak is done with super glue and baking soda. Like cement, and not so apt to break off. Put in a pin first, and then applied the super glue, and then baking soda, just kept building it up, and let it dry overnight, then shaped it this morning. Its very very hard. That fine tip on a eagle or hawks bill is very thin.
