Description this is the first animal I've ever painted, and I'm quite happy with it. I did it for a friend who just loves birds to death, so I'm sure she's going to die over this. Her only request was that the bird not be stereotypical,i think what i chose is the farthest from that. This bird is otherwise known as the 'Moonwalking bird" and hails from South America.

Probably Michael Jackson got inspired from the dance-like display of the male Red-Capped Manakin

I hate it when birds have nearly white irises! They scare the crap out of me D:<
