Description
Dromornis (or eventually soon to be Bullockornis) was a genus of giant duck/goose-like birds hat lived during the Miocene in Australia and was even though it’s giant size (D.stirtoni being 3 meter tall) most likely herbiourous since no carnivous indications have been found on its’s beak. It’s closest modern relatives are fowl.(Also that moment when Wikipedia rejects the depictions you've personally sent in but you find this one's being used on it's page)

I really like the very dapper colour scheme you've gifted this particularly-prodigious bird; all he needs is a top hat and he could be putting on the Ritz at short notice!

The coloration of the dromornis's/bullockornis's neck reminds me of a skunk. But if not a skunk (which is a mammal), what bird did you take influence from to make the dromornis's/bullockornis's feathers?

I pretty much made it Up myself but used various ,generic types of fowl/semi-aquatic/seabirds for inspiration!

I love the black and white colouration. Also, props for depicting a terror bird with actual, full feathering instead of their bizarre shrink-wrapped looking things I usually see.

I'm not sure Dromornithdae is considered "terrror birds" since they most likely were herbivores (just like Gastornis) but thanks anyways! Yeah, I mean..I'ts still a bird, I don't see why people must insist in awesomebro-ing them all the time.

Yeah. This is really the first artwork I've seen of these guys (or similar looking species, at least) having a proper coat of feathers on them.
