That tropical bird is very self assured!

Looks like you're making great strides with Flash; I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with next...

walterworld, it's truly astounding the leaps she's taking. talent on fire.

namowal, the parakeet is the stronger character in this sketch-- not sure why-- you may need to break the 2-d plane with your main speaker.

Really, really fun.
I love the expression on the little parakeet too! It's so perfect. Subtle but so strong, as S. says.

Thanks, walterworld, Sally and Linda. I always like the feedback.
I agree that the parakeet works better. I designed and animated him after, the toucan, so I learned some pitfalls to avoid - both technical and artistic.
For example, the parakeet was designed so his whole body could react, while Terrance (the big guy) only moves his head and neck.
It's funny. I typically learn new skills by learning what not to do first.
