I think I have probably made around 15 or more of them they are scattered from Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, and Nevada. After we get through making one we have so much time in them we would have to have more than $80.00 for one. We just enjoy making them.

I might give that a try the next time I start making some of them it sounds neat.

You can even cut some lite sheet metal out to make the eyes I think they call them the very bright round tings at the end of there feathers..JPC

eyes

The eyes you are talking about sounds good to me, but I am sure it will lose points with my other half as she hates even painting the eyes on my yard guard birds. Gerald
