I have been carving since 1971.  This hobby has pretty much taken back seat to the ship models.  Perhaps someday I'll get back to the bird carving.  I have arranged the birds in the order that they were completed.  Notice the difference.  The goose was done in 1982.  Most are life size except the Goose and the Pelicans.  The Goose is about 10" long and the pelicans are about 5" tall and were at one time fitted inside lamps.
