Fun Fact: the popular conception of what a dodo looks like (see above greens) is based firstly on some dodgy taxidermy on remains that were preserved for some years by taxidermists who'd never actually seen a live bird. Secondly,they're based on drawings by eyewitnesses of the bird but the "artists" were not naturalists & these, too are distorted. The end product makes the poor bird look more "herky" than it probably was. |

Realistic or not, I know I'm gonna need a half-dozen of those. Golden age of miniatures! |

Of course if the model looked like this most people wouldn't recognise it as a dodo

I want to see someone do Moas. Now that would be cool.

Or you could get a 54mm model of a kiwi (which is a dwarf species of moa) to use with 25mm figures:
