Description
3D scan of a taxidermized specimen of a Cuban Macaw, or Tricolored Macaw (Ara tricolor), created by the Natural History Museum of Vienna under license CC Attribution-NonCommercial.
This parrot species was native to Cuba and the neighboring island of Pines, before they were driven to extinction in the 2nd half of the 19th century. The use of Ara tricolor as food and pets and the deforestation of their habitat may have contributed to their extinction.
The original and more information can be found at sketchfab / NHMWien, the following changes were made:
In addition to the "complete" version, there is also a split version (SV) with 3 parts.
Note: If you want to paint the "Cuban Macaw" - parrot correctly, you can use the original 3D view as a template. Could be a nice challenge for kids or retirees :)
