This item is a museum quality, Bald Eagle Replica.  It is stocked as an ANIMATRONIC PUPPET.  It can perform by using its beak, tilting it's head and body, bringing wings out and hunching.  Its in a perched position with a body-rock, three axis neck (so character can look around, left and right, up and down, and cocks its head). The body rock is good for dancing, or just shifting weight to add gentle realism.  Feathers are created using goose and chicken feathers with colored banding.  Rights and lefts make up the wings, down and coque make up the body.  

Requires two puppeteers to perform it at a basic level, add a third if you want more of performance.  Should rig right into your set, fake tree, branch, or even an actor's arm.  Cables are run out of the rear of the bird and out to strategic locations away from camera.
