In the wild, elephants and egrets are buddies--the egrets get dinner from small prey and insects that get kicked up by the walking elephant, and the insects that bother the elephant. In return, the elephant suffers from fewer bugs. In that spirit, I made cattle egrets to go on the back of my small African elephants. Then I had to make them even smaller. It's fun to play around on the scroll saw until it works.
By the way, I had always wondered how in heck the ancient Egyptians drew a heron or crane hieroglyphic. Now I know--with a lot of practice. I also didn't have any idea how MANY ancient Egyptian bird hieroglyphs have been identified.
