Congrats!!!  That is one of the best strutting mounts I've ever seen.  Most look awkward and unnatural, but that one looks great!!!

Thank you!  And to everyone else too.   Cole is an artist for sure.   He took another bird(full strut) to a competition and took best in class.  He wanted to take mine, but it wasn't quite done yet.  He said he thought mine turned out better.  Below is a link to his facebook page, and you can see mine, and the other bird on there.  Also his web page if anyone is interested in seeing his work.
