Some atmospheric angles: [link]

This archaeopteryx-like creature is (as his name suggests) continually on the hunt for shiny objects. He is curious, mischievous and antagonistic if you are in the way between him and one of his shiny prizes. He is about 13 inches long from beak to tail.

This guy is made from scraps of junk, he is quite flexible and capable of stop motion animation. His wings open and fold in a bat-like manner and his tail is highly posable.

Notable features:
He has a laser pointer Eye, saw teeth in a foil/clay skull, a broken cassette tape sound chip for a body core, broken peacock tail feather, lots and lots of wires, safety pins, broken zipper, cogs, scrap fabric, and a clothes pin for counter balance in the tail.
Fun Fact: His name is a tribute to Rossini's Opera
