Hey guyz..... I was just playing around with paper about a year back and I had come up with this model. I thought of this in my mind when I did this, I have seen this bird somewhere but I don't know which bird it is. Can anyone tell me what this looks like?
regards,
Nikhil

Hey I just saw a kiwi. Can you guyz let me know if it looks like a kiwi. I plan to make a catalog of my models so I want to take a poll of all the models and put the name of the maximum responses.

hmmm.... if you thin the peak, remove the crimp you used to create the wings, and make the legs a bit shorter (turning the long leg flap into a foot with toes might work) it would be a nice kiwi.... I know, I've got the bad habit of changing other people's designs :roll:

Otherwise I think that kingfisher was the best guess so far.
But whatever it is, it looks really nice, and you have the artistic freedom to call it whatever you like :)
