My sole extant dinosaur's in my sig! (Can the stuffed magpie count too...?) It's the Schleich Cygnus olor. Here it is on my old dino shelves. (On my new shelves he resides with his fellow maniraptors. A very decent figure from Schleich I think - maybe they should start making feathered nonavian dinosaurs? They might turn out better than the scaly ones.)  LOVE that harpy eagle by the way! |

Oh, one thing I forgot to comment on. Cuckoo Bird? What else would it be, a mouse? Well, apparently the Long Tailed Tit is...  LOL! ;D |

Here it is on my old dino shelves. The swan looks nice. As a partner you should get him the Collecta which is one of their positive exceptions. So, your photobucket works. Mine doesn't - I guess I'm having a problem  . |

I'm envious of all your birds, Helge! (What did you expect? ;D) I have the Colorata birds of prey and the Kaiyodo copper pheasant too (which I adore). I also have the Schleich and CollectA swans (and I agree the latter is one of their excellent modern animals  . |

Every time I try and write the name of the bird it changes it to "Thingy" why is that?

Every time I try and write the name of the bird it changes it to "Thingy" why is that? Because the censor software does not like the word p-o-o-n (even if there is an s- in front). Same thing happens with saltw ater. (Side note--sorry about accidentally modifying the post before--the Quote and Modify buttons are next to each other, and it's easy to not notice when you hit the wrong one!). |

Wow, hkhollinstone, you sculpted these ones yourself? Excellent! How could I have missed this thread by the way - it may happen that I'm doomed to buy me the Colorata Raptors box... I never really looked at it before, so nice to see better photos of them, definitely more interesting than I thought at first. |
