Cyrus Skye is an audio animatronic built by me, Taylor, and Makayla.

Cyrus is a baby Philippine Eagle. Because she’s bigger than everyone, she plays sports and teaches children to be aware of their surroundings. As an above-average sized human, this is an important thing to teach.

Cyrus’ arms move left to right, her jaw opens and closes, and her feathers rise and fall, all controlled with servo motors. The mechanics for the audio-animatronic I designed were the feathers.
