"I thought I thaw a Puttytat" -Famous bird with speech hadicap
Wow Charlie,
What a nice Budgie
You gonna color him now? Green & yellow are my favorites
Seriously, that is a nice bird. I'm just not 100% sure of the kind; my guess is a Peregrine Falcon.
What is the material and finish?
Regards,
Marcel

Budgie is what us peasants call a parakeet!!
It truly is a nice start on the Rhode Island Red Rooster, now you begin the shaping and coloring. If I remember the pattern, its a golden eagle. dale
The Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus, nicknamed budgie), the only species in the Australian genus Melopsittacus, is a small parrot belonging to the tribe Platycercinae, or broad-tailed parrots. Though budgerigars are often called parakeets, especially in American English, this term also refers to any of a number of small parrots with long flat tails. The budgerigar is found throughout the drier parts of Australia and has survived in the inlands of that continent for over 5 million years.

I have used all sorts of methods for putting on patterns. The only time I put a pattern directly on the wood is on Intarsia as the shaping process removes it. I only use blue tape under the pattern on very small projects.
I Use clear removable contact paper (shelf liner) on the wood and...
I agree about how it was advertised, but it is my own fault, I know better. Just for curiosity I may strip the paint off and see how true the plate is.
