Some time ago now, doudou, a fellow blogger (doudoubirds.wordpress.com/) sculpted me some birds, and they were brilliant – three emu chicks, one galah and a bluejay.
Now doudou is going to sculpt Tina Turner! In case you don’t know who Tina is, he is one of our roosters. Another thing you might not know is that Tina attacks me all the time (possibly because, until he grew up, I thought he was a girl). So, in good-for-evil mode, I have decided to allow Tina’s entrance into doudou’s hall of fame because I am hoping that giving Tina Turner a turn will endear him to me – ha!
The only problem is that Godfrey finds this very difficult because, as my only other attacker, he feels it should be him who is sculpted first but as I told him this morning, whilst extricating my ankle from his biting beak, Tina was here long before he arrived!
I do try to pat him with one hand and use my other hand to fend him off but it isn’t working very well so please, doudou, could you sculpt Godfrey first? He is terribly jealous….

I can’t wait to see the artistic interpretations of these two characters!
I can’t wait either!
I can’t wait to see how Tina Turner comes out! That hairdo is quite an artistic challenge.
Not sure how doudou will dou this! hehe!
Those sculptures are gorgeous 🙂
Yes – doudou is fantastically talented!
I think you should wear spats or some kind of ankle guards around your birds.
What’s a spat?
Those coverings the British used to wear over their boots, maybe to keep the dirt from going in through the lace up part? Anyway, it would be extra ankle protection in the bird yard. I was kidding, bu now that I think of it…Or you could use what we call gators – a covering from ankle to knee, worn by hikers.
Oh I know what you mean now and yes that is a very good idea – I’m not sure what we call them here!
Wow… these are really cool sculptures! Can’t wait as well!
Yeah, doudou is really talented – I just posted a link to her blogsite.
Oh wow! Those sculptures are gorgeous! I do so love “Tina Turner” heheheeh. What a gorgeous Rooster! Godfrey is stunning! Wow! Great shots! 🙂
Tina is only slightly less vicious than Godfrey – the rest of ‘the gang’ are the gentlest, most beautiful birds!
How very cool. I love the sculptures. Do you know how they are made?
I just posted doudou’s link – I have no idea how she does it but she amazes me …

Thank you much ZJules. I just spent some time and actually saw a video of a tutorial she made creating an owl. I’m not going to give her medium or technique a
way here, let other readers of yours find their way to her blog. Very interesting.
I forgot to say am so anticipating Tina. She’ll be so Proud Mary!
Wow – I never saw that tutorial – I must look it up! Thanks Baroness..
You are so welcome~
Oh you have such a funny way with those two – I’m not sure I’d honor either Godfrey or Tina Turner with their own sculpture – you are a good woman!
I figure if I always wear jeans and boots, they can bite me as much as they want – haha!
Yes! Same for me when I collect eggs from some of my mad-hens – without the gloves, I’m asking for it!
Hahaha!
Those baby emus are precious!!! Doudou is extremely talented artist!
She sure is!
Is Godfrey a Greylag Goose?
He was given to us as an adult and we were told he was a Chinese goose – gander I mean!
Chinese geese look a bit like Greylag Geese.
Probably same breed?
My sister had a rooster who attacked everyone but me. I bought worms at a bait store and threw him a few every day. He was a pushover.
Okay – I’ll try it!
Good luck. Yours might eat the worms and still attack you.
I think you are right! He takes bread from my hand and the next minute attacks again!
Oh, how cute – the birds and story!
Thanks!!!
