About
The Mechanical Bird Armature is designed to have the ability to fit the profile of many small birds, ranging from Parrots, Cockatoos, Owls, Peregrine Falcons, Hawks, and any other bird of the same profile.
This kind of device can then be used as a Bird Lure to help aid in the research into raptors, or as a Bird Decoy to help solve pest problems in and around city's.
Im also making these as animatronic film props as well as for use in TV commercials and programs, and theatre props, along with Attractions, exhibitions and maybe even just a party piece to intrigue your guests.
Structure
Fabrication
All the parts started out in CAD software with references taken from a taxidermy form.
Those parts are then made using an off site, state of the art 3D printing process, and are presented with a professional finish.
Any of the armatures can be used with hand held radio controlled units or be set up to run a preprogrammed routine, along with an in-house "naturalization code" that performs randomly to give that unpredictable gesture that nature has.
