So,it is not finished yet. Still have the beak, eyes and feet to do, plus the title. The author is a dear friend of mine and I am making this as a Surprise!!! :)
Any constructive critics would be welcome!!

You asked for some constructive critic so I'll say, what you have so far is really good. To really bring it to life you need to add some shading to help round the shape of the birds body. Basically you need to add the shadowing with a little darker threads to give it a little more dimension.
You're doing great so far though!!
