Articulated Neck The achieving realistic neck movement was the biggest challenge. For inspiration I studied video of swans moving on land and in water. What I saw was the upper portion of the neck curled up and down, while the lower portion mostly rocked forward and back. The head, of course, could independently left, right, up and down. The other motion the birds did often while in water was to adjust their wings, as if they were getting all their feathers to lay flat.
