I consider myself fairly advanced but there is no way I could have designed a model with sophisticated connections that fit together so seamlessly. Took me about 2 hours to assemble. Would greatly recommend!

The Kingfisher Bird looks awesome in my Husband's hobby room. Both of us noticed how beautiful the water is and looks like the bird is taking off.

Every aspect of this kit is top notch. The water was exceedingly fun to construct and the Cattail reads are the perfect accent for this extraordinarily dynamic and pleasantly large build. Highly, highly recommend buying this lovely Kingfisher. It feels exactly like a perfectly snapped photo with the benefit of three dimensions. One of Lego's best and what a value!

I love this build and it turned out fantastic. It is on my mantle in my loving room.

great build, lotsof fun and looks great but multiple pages throughout the instruction booklet were majorly discolored making it hard to depict which colored block to put down

This was actually the first of the Lego birds that I built [earlier in 2024] and now serves as one of the centerpieces of what has become my bird collection that consists of: set 31170 [3-in-1, built as flamingo] set 31173 [3-in-1, built as toucan] set 31136 [3-in-1, parrot] set 31144 [3-in-1, pink parrot] set 10031 [kingfisher bird] set 21365 [love birds] set 31154 [3-in-1, built as owl] set 31149 [3-in-1, built as birds] set 31384 [3-in-1, as hummingbird] set 31165 [3-in-1, built as penguin] My experience building the various birds has been that the sets have been getting more and more realistic, particularly the Kingfisher, lovebirds, and 3-in-1 set I've built as the owl] I've also built 3 of the 3-in-1 penguin [panda] sets to create something of a penguin colony - For builders who might consider developing a similar "naturalist" collection I would also suggest adding to these the Lego insect collection, the Tyrannosaurus, the evolution of STEM, the planet Earth and moon in orbit and [on my list to purchase] the 3-in-1 space exploration telescope collectively [pun intended] this has become, along with a complete set of the botanical sets I have in my home, a really enjoyable way for me to engage in my interest in science [as a retired dentist and pathologist]

I have built many of the 18+ Lego sets, and the Kingfisher Bird has got to be among the most enjoyable one to assemble. I usually build Legos together with my kids at the family table, and I must have expressed how much fun it is to build the bird numerous times. I also love the hint of habitat as part of the set. I highly recommend it, and I hope Lego will offer more birds in the future, such as a cardinal, bald eagle, or other striking birds.

Not only is this a crazy good bargain considering the size, but the build and final product are fab too. I would love to do more bird sets with this level of detail and creativity.
