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.

This is the second post about illustrations of dodos for Alice in Wonderland. The first post is here. This time all the images are from the same site, Lauren’s Alice in Wonderland Page.
