Description
This is slightly more morbid than the other ref collection ... since the bird is dead... I DIDN'T KILL IT I PROMISEMy Aunt found it in the yard dead - we think it flew into a tree or something sine it didn't have any bite injuries from the two dogs we have.
Any way immediately thought of taking pictures of it with my phone to use as future references, along with drawing practice as a friend and I sat around for a bit sketching it before disposing it.
Thought maybe you guys could get some use out of the pictures as well so I put them together.
Sorry if anyone is offended by my opportunistic nature o-o but at least now he can in a sense live on forever in my sketch book
ADDED COMMENT
Wow ... I guess I know now how to get you all to comment, just start posting dead things lol XD no but seriously thank you for the comments and the many page views. And if any of you remember it I'd love to see any pictures made that the ref was used. =] Its a good feeling to know and see that you've helped provided something useful to other people.

S/he didn't kill the bird -- so how does that make him/her cruel and senseless?
It doesn't. You don't burn half-used paper when you can flip it over and write on the other side. Why should she throw away a bird instead of using it to help further herself?
There's no shame in being opportunistic if s/he isn't hurting anyone.

What type of bird is that? It's really pretty (and has a passing resemblance to an angry bird).
Also, it's nice to think that the bird's death won't be in vain.

Thanks for the Refrence, shame that the birdie is dead. :C But its part of life. a sad part, but true. I have a lot of trouble with my wings currently. Thanks for the consideration!

There was a random dead bird in the grass by the sidewalk just the other day! It was on really pretty too. It had grayish-blue wings and a redish breast. It also had no holes or injury marks like this one. I should've taken pics, but then again I was carrying groceries...

Well, it isn't like you killed it or anything, and life happens, so, as sad as it is, take advantage of it, right? xD Cool ref, I might use this later.

Gorgeous Cardinal. Looks like he died possibly by some internal trauma?
Kinda looks like he fell over dead in a tee and tumbled t the ground..
Nice ref page, though. good idea.

I wouldn't even touch death with a glove on.
Being a mysophobe has many disadvantages.
