How we make our birds

Every bird here is built to be true to life. We study each species from reference photographs and the ornithological literature, build its shape and plumage, give it a skeleton and the movements the species really makes, and set it to its published length, so a Wren stands Wren-sized beside a Blackbird.

Males, females and young that look different are built as separate plumages, and we add more as we go. Before any bird appears, every plumage is checked against photographs of real birds from every side, and then by eye: the bill, the eye, the legs, the markings and the way it moves.

Each bird carries a build number. If you spot something that isn't right, tell us: we correct it and publish a new build.
