A pattern of another extinct bird species, this time it's the Dodo.

There is no clear consensus on the appearance or behaviour of this far gone friend. There are no complete specimens for us to know its coloration with certainty. Depictions of the dodo vary. For mine, I chose to depict it with the light plumage as found on the Oxford taxidermy specimen. For the beak, I chose a light green as it was described by some accounts. 

FUTURE IDEAS?
In future, I might make a version with a darker plumage. If you've already purchased this version, you will get the darker version free of charge.
