The newest Bird Wyverns, Qurupeco and Horo, tend to look more like actual birds than older ones: Kut-ku, Garuga, Gypceros, and Hypnoc is halfway between a WTFy peacock and a Kut-ku. However, Gypceros aside, i like them all.

Since i originally wanted a bat monster and Horo seems to have some of it in its design, i'm okay with this, he's a nice monster. After all we needed more nocturnal monsters. You could say... Night CrOWLer? lol.

I'd like to point out good ideas for birds that have not been used yet to make Bird Wyverns in MH:

Swan, Penguin (though it was used for Lagombi), Hawk, Ostrich, Prehistorical Gastornis, Seagull, Condor, Heron... And many more. Actually, most waterside birds haven't been used at all.

I'd like to see an aquatic bird wyvern. Floating like a duck, that would be hilarious.
