Description
Odo is an ex-candidate for the GryphonArtistsUnited mascot contest. He's been reacquisitioned and renamed for the naturalist Odoardo Beccari, the first man to see a Vogelkop in its native habitat.
Bowerbirds create structures that are neither nest nor shelter, and the design of each bower is unique to the individual. The Vogelkop species creates the grandest bower: it is a concert hall for the bird's voice, a gallery, a work of art in itself, and a parlor for entertaining females. While other birds are judged for their plumage or their ability to provide, the male bowerbird dedicates himself to artistic achievement.

I love the story, concept, and the presentation. You really do remarkable work with your birds. The colouring here is so believable, and the gryff just plain makes sense!
