Standing upright with a slightly turned head, the pose gives a sense of curiosity, drawing attention to its bold beak and expressive features.

Subtle gilded accents pick out the beak and feet, adding definition while keeping the overall look balanced and considered. Neatly proportioned yet full of personality, it sits comfortably on a shelf or tabletop, offering interest without overwhelming the space.
