Hi,

Personnally, I'm not sure about these kinds of birds of prey.
In french, we call it ''rapace'', which has an extremely bad connotation.
Is there a specific reason why it should be a bird?
On kde.org, I can find the source blender file for Konqui, but I don't know much at all on how to use Blender...
