Major: Texturing and rigging the bird

I have textured my bird model which will be used both in the sun metaphor and the birds metaphor.

I have also rigged the bird so that both wings can move up and down, the feet can move forwards and backwards, and the head/neck can bend forwards. I kept this rig quite simple and just focused on the things that needed to move in order to get the bird into a 'flying position' as the modelled position the bird is in is a perched position.

Control with added attributes to control the wings, neck and legs
