The original "Songbird" model was created by Anton Kisiel who sold the rights to DAZ 3D. The Kisiel Model is now known as the "DAZ Songbird".

-

In 2003, the model was revised (or ReMixed) by B.L. Render who corrected the anatomy and added many features such as folding wings and character morphs, and remapped the model. Her partner, Ken Gilliland, using the new morphs, created the bird species and textured them. After the release of Songbird Remix Woodpeckers, B.L. Render left the ~~partership~~ and Gilliland took control of the ReMix series.

In 2006, the model was "ReMixed" again, this time by Ken Gilliland, adding more complex morphs and geometry to create more complex birds such as hummingbirds, quail and kingfishers.

In 2007, he began hybridizing the model with specific bird base models to create Turkeys, Toucans, a variety of Sea and Shorebirds and even Owls.

Returning to the original Songbird ReMix model in 2010, Ken remixed the model a third time, creating a much more realistic bird than the prior versions. The model underwent a significant ~~structual~~ change with the hips move forward. In addition, several of detached crests created in 2006 were incorporated into the mesh, more transparency layers were added and many of the 2003 morphs were revised. New base models were also created to improve bird realism. These new base models included: Songbird Base, Gamebird Base, Parrot Base, Zygodatcyl Base and a Syndatcyl Base. Older bird libraries that used the SBRM 1 and 2 versions of the model were updated in late 2010 and 2011 to use the newer models. The series completed it's updates to Songbird Remix 3 in April 2011.

Gilliland said that this will probably be the last time this model is remixed as he will move to hybridized versions with a higher resolution mesh.

Many within the scientific community believe that songbirds are bell-weathers for the health of our planet. In places where songbird populations are in decline, symbiotic partnership are thrown out of balance giving early warning sings that our planet in peril.

And finally, by creating threatened, endangered and extinct bird species in digital format and using them in imagery, animation and film we can educate the public about the mistakes we’ve made in the ecosystem and what measures we need to take to keep our planet not only healthy for birds, but the human species as well.
