This is a low-poly Bird modeled and animated, from scratch, in Blender.  Originally modeled as a small critter in a video game project that was programmed to fly over the landscape, I've decided to put it (and various other pieces) on OpenGameArt for your personal use.  This bird only contains a diffuse texture, as the video game project in which it was used was a 3rd-person Android App.  I used a single diffuse map to cut down on processing power.

The bird itself is available in the .Blend file that I provide below, and it is rigged to a simple but effective skeleton which contains 7 loopable keyframes of animation.  The bird's head and tail bob up-and-down a bit to add more dynamism to the movement.

This page for the model also contains a download of the original UV-Map in case you would like to add your own flair to the Bird.
