For some reason I was thinking this was a hawk not an owl… 
I change my vote to eyes too. lol 
Lol.
Another feature i was thinking about was to add a bladder to the chest of the Owl to simulate breathing. I was thinking of using the vacuum gripper pump idea to inflate and deflate the bladder.
Not having any channels left on my remote i was thinking about mixing some of the servo pulses using a Y cable to free up a channel.
The body tilt servo runs from an auxilary pot on the top of the transmitter. Might change that one.
Ok well first id like to thank Lynxmotion for a very speedy delivery of the Vacuum gripper kit i won in the last contest.
Built in under 10mins
Thanks guys.
I can confirm that the syringe chamber doesn’t hold enough air to make a small 100x200mm diaphragm inflate/deflate. im looking into finding a larger diameter chamber syringe, and extending the servo arm for move leverage.

Awesome, great work Jonny!
Progress is being made but it still requires lots more attention regarding the mechanical rig.
