Parrot Animatronic

Wanted to learn the process behind making an animatronic, so I decided to start with what my teacher called the first real animatronic for entertainment purposes, the Tiki Bird "ride" at Disneyland. So this is my attempt at getting the geometry down for a simple Tiki bird, which will allow me at least single-axis rotational control at the neck, beak control, and tilt control using the "legs". Still, an early prototype, if that wasn't obvious.
