Awesome!
Mein goodness, that's outstanding!
Believe it or not, you inspired me to create the "Barker Bird" parrot from Pirates of the Caribbean for my Halloween costume, and I've been referencing your build process as I go. (I'm not going to post any pics here because I don't want to derail this thread, but for those interested, I plan to start a new thread when I have time.)
I love the Pirate Parrot too!
How did your costume turn out?
The sculpture is very different from these birds - but I'm going to take a swing at sculpting one when I finish up with these guys.
Thanks for asking! All things considered, mine turned out pretty well:

I ran out of time building and debugging some of the animatronics, but the parts I already had hooked up worked really well! I'm hoping I'll have time this weekend to finish the last bits, and then next weekend I can post my build process.
