Songbird ReMix Flowerpiercers & Leaftossers

This set includes two distinct types of South American birds whose names are associated with their unusual behaviors, flowerpiercers and leaf-tossers.

Flowerpiercers are from the Thraupidae family. There are eighteen known species distributed through Central and South America (Seven have been selected for this set). They are commonly known as flowerpiercers because of their habit of piercing the base of flowers to access nectar that otherwise would be out of reach. This is done with their highly modified bill, which is typically upswept, with a hook at the tip.

Leaftossers are from the Furnariidae (oven-bird) family. There are seven species that are found in Mexico, Central America and South America. They are known for their foraging mostly on the ground, flipping aside leaves and pecking at leaf litter and rotting logs, hopping rather than walking.

There are two versions of this set for native support in Poser and DAZ Studio. Materials have been tuned to support Iray, 3Delight, Superfly and Firefly renderers.
