The bird sculptor must know and understand bird anatomy and how a bird is structured.
Birds, like mammals (including humans) are vertebrates.
Vertebrates simply means that the animal has a backbone.
Nature has designed just one basic pattern, with many variations, for all vertebrates.
The skeleton of the bird's wing is more easily understood when compared to the human arm.
