Yes, the Turaco's head on the Quetzal's body would be perfect, and I agree with Sooshi's suggestions to make it more predatory in appearance.

I'm totally on board with changing the angle of the head feathers. That's a really good idea!

I think either the Tasmanian Masked Owl or the Barn Owl would work well. They both look like they could be psychics, so a third eye would look very natural on them.
An avian based on a quetzal would be cool! Their long tails and large cute eyes would be adorable! I'd love to see that! And the head change is a great idea! Especially since then the avian wont be an exact copy of a quetzal.

Huh. I hadn't thought of the owls that way. I think the facial disks on those two don't lend themselves very well for the placement of a third eye in the middle there. The way the feathers shape the face and everything. The Great Horned Owl and Eurasian Eagle Owl seem to have better faces for sticking a third eye up there.
Definitely! We don't want any of our birds to be exact copies of any species. We like mixing them up a bit. ^_^

Bohemian Waxwing  I was thinking maybe we could take inspiration from the head of the Waxwing and apply it to the Pamola or Roc. What do you think everyone? |

I think the Pamola would be a better target for the wedge-shaped head, seeing as the Roc is supposed to be more or less a giant eagle. But the little mini-crest could be applied to the Roc, as a couple stiffer feathers sticking out. The tail shape and the way the feathers lay so smoothly could be used for the Pamola as well, though,
