Thanks! Pic of setup below. I use a plastic tablecloth over a table (it's now clipped onto the background board seen in pic to create a seamless background). I have one flash that's triggered on the left, but you could set this same scene up by a window. Just have the window to the left/right of where you pose the bird. A white surface on the other side helps to bounce light back in to soften shadows (& helps create a box to keep the bird on the table). A bed sheet is a good material to start with. And another sheet between the window and the bird will soften the window light.
Thank you. That's awesome! I'll have to try it.
