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 creation of the Songbird Remix Woodpecker, B.L. Render left the partnership and Gilliland took control of the ReMix series, acquiring the rights to ReMix model from DAZ3D.

In 2004, DAZ relinquished their rights to ReMix model, saying the "remixing" had made it different enough from the Kisiel model to be considered an "original" product.
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.

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.
