    ok heres a video of a semi finished crow...

    ended up just doing it with 1 servo .... (sorry!!)

    so 1 servo and 2 red led eyes.....

    these are realistic looking crows, the servos do make some noise but your speakers with crow sounds should drown them out.. still a nice and cheap effect ..

    you do need an extra servo channel on whatever controller you are using (hey use mine!! hahah) to control this crow as it doesnt come with a controller.. and the LED eyes can run offa 1 +5v line.. of course u could fade them in and out to make a nice cool effect..

    once again this aint the finished bird yet, it still needs more feathers on the neck and more black touchup paint in some places....

    oh btw the wires come out the butt hahaha (reminds me of a dead dog IED i saw in iraq in OIF 1

    anyone still interested???

    i was going to offer 2 versions..

    1 version will just have red LED eyes (with dropping resistors inline already...)

    2nd version will have both servo and red LED eyes... and thumbtack to nix the eyes if you like...

    target price for #1 is 20 dollars.

    and for #2 is 30 dollars.

    please speak up if interested and in what !!!

    thanks
