I always get people confused with DAZ|Studio. It is partly because most DAZ|Studio content is Poser-based and you epect to get it from a Poser Runtime.  I have created '''native DAZ|Studio content''' so you will find it in the "Content" folder of your DAZ|Studio installation '''not''' the "Runtime".  '''If you are using DAZ|Studio, download and install the DAZ|Studio version, not the Poser version( unless you are using Poser too).'''

* While the premade DS birds are great, there are issues when wanting to take advantage of the latest master CR2. Unlike Poser, all the joint parameters and morphs are hard coded to the preassembled bird. Thus to take advantage of the latest CR2, it needs to be rebuilt from a Poser import of using the latest CR2 and PZ2 files.  Native DS version will be periodically updated  in the Download section.
