An unlikely subject as a piece
of art is the awkward and clumsy mud hen. Yet these are the very
qualities Allen loves about this bird. When taking flight the mud
hen is a whimsical comical creature, sometimes taking fifty yards
of hard running before becoming airborne. "I thought his
unusual character would make a good contrast to the other more
regal birds in my collection."
Size: 9" long. |
