Description

It's funny, shortly after the Songbird Remix series came out, a customer did a few songbird textures creating such birds as the Zebra Finch and Dead Sea Sparrow. Over the years those texture downloads disappeared from circulation and I felt I should do official SBRM versions of them. I created my own Zebra Finch for Pet Shop shortly after they vanished but the Dead Sea Sparrow has sat on my to-do list for almost a decade... well, until my Sparrow project. The Dead Sea Sparrow is migratory or dispersive. The regular wintering grounds of this nomadic species are largely unknown, although the eastern race does winter in Pakistan and flocks of the nominate western race have been found further south in the Middle East. It prefers dry lowlands with shrub cover. Dead Sea Sparrows are sexually dimorphic. The male has a grey crown, rear neck and cheeks, and a small black bib. The female is like a small House Sparrow, with a streaked brown back, greyish head and buff-white under parts. She is paler and smaller billed than her relative, and sometimes shows yellow on the neck sides. Rendered in Poser 2014 without Postwork. Models: Cyclorama (DAZ); Olive Branch (Songbird Remix Birds of Legend/Me) and Dead Seas Sparrows (Songbird Remix Sparrows of the World/Me)
