I have created a cockatoo-like bird that can be made by using only the parts
from set 9748 (Droid Developers Kit). To enhance the appeal of the bird, I
have substituted a yellow crown, black beak and black eyes but set 9748
contains all the parts you need to create an entire bird with a white crest,
white beak and grey or red eyes. I obtained the yellow gear crest and black
beak from a Throwbots set.

For those of you who want to know more...
As some of you know, I recently moved to California to work for the LEGO
Company at LEGOLAND California. Because of my move, all of my bricks were in
storage. On my way to California I picked up this set at Target for $25 and
was determined to do something fun with it since it was one of the only sets I
had in my posession! I am pleased with my bird because it is fairly close to
life-size and it was the result of a totally random building session.
As for the cyber-part...the bird does not really have any real robotic
function. The Micro-scout "tweets," but that's about it!

| (...) < snipped personal story> (...) WOW! It's amazing where things go when you grab some parts out of a set and just start playing with them. I'm convinced that LEGO is like clay to some people, and small wet mineral particles to others. Nice (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.build)
