Those pigeons look as good as what you would pay for in HO or O scale.
8unless somebody has super eye site they are not going to be able to pick out whether you have modeled pigeons, crows or chickens.

If anybody is viewing your Ho scale critters and they happen to whip out a set of binoculars to get a better look....throw a towel over their head. Or barring that, release a bad smell right next to them.............lmao

Good job for such a small scale!
I've made a few large birds (two hawks and a roadrunner) for my layout but of course I have the advantage of a much, much larger scale (1/24th). I still need to get some smaller birds built to go with the bird poop I painted on the ledges of a couple of my buildings.

Just to give credit where credit is due. My bird inspiration and creative attempt came from an article by Gerry Leone in the December 2013 Model Railroader magazine. (Page 36).
It is truly a fun winter-time diversion for people with great eyes or magnifying visors or loops.
For all that may want to try their hand at it I advise very small solder wire size and to do it on a white type background and perhaps a small enclosed area. I did not do that at first and I would make one and lose it to the carpet monster. For those with strong eyes I would still suggest eye protection as these little guys are like pieces of shrapnel when they come flying out from the tweezers.
I think I might snap a few progress shots on the birds I am still attempting to master.
All in fun.
Thanks
Johnny

They look like birds to me. I have heard of modelers using seeds and spices for birds also. Carraway seeds come to mind with bits of paper for wings. Keep going, your birds add detail and look cool.
