Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.

Have you ever done an adult? I would love to see that! They are such neat birds, and you do such a fantastic job at capturing peculair birds and their personalities. Love your work, keep doing what your doing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Made my day! I haven't ever painted an adult Hoatzin - they are bird dinosaurs for sure!
