Needle felted Wild Turkey. My first needle felted bird sculpture with moveable wings. Unlike the domestic bird, Wild Turkeys can fly, 50 mph, as they are leaner & more muscular. Domestic fowl are often too heavy to achive flight & have reduced walking & running ability, one reason organic farmers have opted for "heritage" breeds instead. Typical color of Eastern Wild Turkeys is dark, while domestics are usually white. Fun fact: Turkeys can extend & retract the fleshy snood on top of the beak, & along with the wattle, change it's color. What may be seen as just an unattractive ornament is actually used for communication, ex: a bright red extended wattle can be a display for females or ward of males or enemies. SOLD on eBay.

Wonderful addition to an owlery. SOLD on eBay.

Hedwig from the Harry Potter series is a Snowy Owl. Fun fact: Female Snowy Owls are marked with black bars while Male Snowy Owls have fewer, lighter bars and can be pure white like this one; so when the popular movie owl was portrayed by a white owl, the 'female' pet was auctally played by a male bird.
