Description Just like the title says: a parakeet (budgie) skeleton. After working on a few feathered theropod dinosaur skeletons, I thought I'd draw up a modern bird to help get me in the vibe of their anatomy. Interesting little beings they are.

This is beautiful and expertly done. Budgies are my favorite birds. Even their skulls are round and cute.

Wow, these skeletons are beautifully made and interesting to look at! Thank you for making them and sharing with everyone!
If you ever need inspiration... it would be truly awesome to see a (zebra) finch restoration, I think...! My pet bird of choice, very popular birds in various scientific studies also as they breed easily and are very social and what not... yet not much (easily accessible, anyway!) anatomy material and such on them

Great work. And it is very interesting to see their neck tucked in there in that u-shape

Thank you. Yeah, they're scroungy little buggers underneath all the nice plumage.
