Ken just doesn't make birds for a living he also actively promotes the well being of wildlife and helps wildlife where and when he can. That alone makes me support him and the fact that I love his products. The time it takes to learn about each species, model, texture and write up the info PDF with good educational information about each bird itself it well worth the price. Plus I get to make cool images. No not every single model is an exact replica of the real thing granted, youd pay a lot more for that just for one bird mesh. But many are very close to the real thing and many can be tweaked with the morphs provided with each base mesh. Plus if you feel adventurous try mixing things up and make your own weird looking bird, yep Ken makes that possible too. http://www.empken.com/
