That is a very cool piece of art. Very clever.
Very cool!!
Fantastic! Saw it via Wil Wheaton's tumblr and reblogged it myself. Just wanted to stop by and say it kicks ass.
Genius! Make a shirt.
I don't mean to be That Guy, but I think "maching bird" is a typo... but if you fixed that (and made it in 1920x1200) you'd have a killer wallpaper... just saying.
This is rather excellent.
Could the Leonardo Da Vinci version be next (obv with dissection..!)?
I think Maching bird is correct... it's a pun on Mocking, but based on the yellow bird's ability to speed really fast... breaking the sound barrier (mach 1) in the process.
And I too would buy a t-shirt with this on it.
A Square iPad wallpaper version would be awesome :)
Wonderful piece of art, man.
I hope you like thar we mentioned it in our web:

is that for sale? I would love a print
would love to buy a print if you decided to make lithographs.
You have the red and yellow birds switched. Yellow = breaks wood. Otherwise, cool.
Can you turn this into a poster somehow?
i sent you an email via Flickr. :)
I must say that this piece of art is faithful to the game. Can you do another one with the pigs?
I would love to see this get printed
Amazingly wonderful art!
But bad Latin :(
Short version: should be "aves iratae"
TL;DR version:
As in English, "aves" ("birds") is a plural noun. However, unlike most English, all Latin nouns have a grammatical gender, not necessarily related to the biological gender (if any) of the thing the word describes. "Avis" ("bird") is feminine.
So far so good! However, also unlike English, adjectives have grammatical number (singular and plural forms) and also have grammatical gender. So to describe a feminine plural noun like "aves", the adjective also has to be feminine plural.
"Iratus" ("angry") is masculine singular. The feminine plural of this adjective is "iratae". Therefore, "angry birds" is "aves iratae".
Like! Want this exact colour scheme for a T-Shirt! Maybe with an outline of the Galapagos background.
Is there any way to buy prints?! Ever since I told my friends about it, everyone wants to give this as a gift. And your other works are amazing!
Please please make this a print.
Hi, Can I buy a print from you? Looks great!
Wow...!
Any chance to buy a print?
Definitely need to offer a shirt!!

Todd

How cosmically cool!
This is just so wonderful.
Please register and copyright your artwork. It's obvious from the replies here, there's a market for it. The medium you chose is entirely up to you. Find an agent to represent you. Good luck. Act now while the subject is currently hot.
Love IT!

It is never too late to tell you how funny they are, how great your artwork is! :-)
I had looked for "angry birds" for some reason > a photograph of a real Emberiza citrinella and found this. I put a link to your article - hope you don't mind.
I've just seen this on the wall of a pub-restaurant, where can it be purchased from?
Angry Birds ornithological fan art would make cracking poster, would you?
