Notes

Turned out super fab!
Now, daughter wants one!

Impressive design of head, body and feet. Meticulously similar to a real turkey vulture.

Elected to use the wings of a different design, Amigurumi Red-and-Green Macaw/ Red Parrot, because they were more realistic. Spent a lot of time looking for a realistic wing design.
