Actually, I looked at that design, and, it could quite easily be used to make a duck, or even a bird, with a few minor changes. For one, you're need a beak and feathers. And two, the arms might be changed to wings, though that's not necessary. Look at Daffy Duck, Donald Duck, and even Big Bird!

Beavers can build anything with a little mud and a few sticks....

Yo, Buck, when is day 3 ready? I'm waiting impatiantely hehehe *shaking in like a scared cat on chair*

Day 3 and 4 were added over the weekend....day off today so I guess I am on Day 5 today. Progress was held up because I had to redo the mouth and make a bunch of minor adjustments to the head.

Just an FYI, but I usually announce updates here (I missed announcing Day 4 for some reason).

beaver,do you make birds aswell?

I've made quite a few birds over the years. My wife and I did a bunch of pigeons and a Peregrine Falcon for the Chicago Academy of Sciences a few years back. We actually ended up making a ton of the pigeons after that, for pigeon fanciers (did you know there was such a thing?) in England I think. I also did a spectacularly ugly bunraku bird for a production of "Peter and the Wolf".

I've thrown a bunch of images of these and some other old puppets I've done in my Yahoo Photo Album.
