DoDo Bird - Jim's Critters and Creations

DoDo Bird by Jim’s Critters and Creations, Tamera Rae Creations. Just abstract and it will be a dodo.

This DoDo Bird appeared in my garage one night while I was kicking back & having some fun.
Having been thought extinct, it was a definite surprise.
He may be the only one left but who knows ? There may be a mate some where.


Update:
I removed the link to the site, because the page with the dodo sculpture is no longer available.
