It's gonna be a rush, but I wanted to try doing a decent job at bringing this baby in for AnthroCon. Started maybe two weeks ago and have been working between this and job before getting referred over here.

Excuse iPhone and poor coloring. I like experimenting with multiple arts but I'm no master at any. Hopefully decent quality for AC.
I'm still adding foam before I can start sculpting this head out, but I wanted to know if anyone could catch any glaring mistakes before I block out regions.

I've conceded that I haven't made enough room for fan, more worried about room for glasses. A little concerned that the minimal-size thing will look bad. I could wear like a black chinguard and that might hide my face, but the opening of the beak doesn't align with my actual mouth; might be negligible. The jaw might function fine if rather small to open.
Other concerns:
Any tips for making something like wire wings? I'm no constructionist, so I need some ideas about something that can suspend off the body without falling under its own weight. They'd be rather small wings with a bit of fur and fluff on them.
I found some ~2 foot lyrebird feathers at Hobby Lobby, but they're completely straight. Could I apply like a curling iron to them to get the shape I want?
Should I mount ears before or after furring? I couldn't pull up very helpful information from Google and I think it's just personal preference. I'm leaning for postfurring though and would appreciate some pointers.
Not much found on Google for mounting eyes either. Maybe I'm just bad at keywording properly.
