A balancing eagle model.
This model works as the center of gravity (black and white dot in the pictures) is at the beak, because of this, it can balance well on any single point surface, as long as the contact point is on its beak, though it might slip as the material is plastic and has low friction. The middle of the model is hollow, while the tips of the wings and tail are full, which helps lower the center of gravity. For finding the center of gravity, I used Fusion 360's built-in center of mass calculation.
I also made a stand for the model, which I thought looked cool. The stand doesn't stay up on its own and needs the eagle to work. But, of course, you don't have to use the stand as you can balance it on any surface that doesn't cause it to slip.

Just make sure to select "on build plate only" when creating supports, as the slicer tends to place supports in hollow regions, which might slightly alter the center of gravity. And for infill, i seleced 80% as the wings and tail need to be as full as possible.
If I get more likes ill try make it look nicer 👍
