Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright on a weathered grey driftwood branch, correct orientation, figure centered with cold northern tundra filling the sides. A mother forever transformed into a cuckoo bird: a slender grey bird the size of a dove with soft dove-grey plumage on the head, back and wings, a creamy breast finely barred with dark grey stripes, a long graduated tail tipped with white spots, slim pointed wings folded along the body, and small scaly yellow legs with grasping clawed toes gripping the branch. Her downcurved slate bill is slightly parted; her round amber eye holds a sorrowful, tender, almost human maternal expression, head turned longingly toward the far horizon. Pale fading light, scattered low heather, drifting mist and distant snow-dusted hills stretch out behind her into the lonely far-northern expanse.
