I don't mean to sound (err, can something written even sound?!) rude or anything, but I have some issues with two things here. First, the tail could not bend like that at the base without breaking itself - Scott Hartman can explain this better than me . Second (regarding wing feathers), the primaries actually attach to the second finger, while the secondaries attach to the ulna, like this ... and the tertiaries were probably absent since even more "advanced birds" (like Jeholornis ) didn't have them. Third, I'm not very good at maths. Fourth, keep up with the good work no matter what I or anyone else says .

Indeed. I am glad I took a closer look though. Your gallery is rather impressive.
