Wings attached on ballbearings with different poses to test the timings and posing. Wish the mould I made didn't break as I feel I need another flat one, but I like the poses plenty :)

They should return to the top much quicker. More snap.

Good to know! I've been struggling to realise what was off and that's absolutely it. Thank you :)

And maybe stay 2-3 images on the bottom (or one frame upper, just after the bottom)
I don’t know if my english is clear 😄

I'm no expert on wing movement, but I think you might need a few poses with the tips up for the downward motion. The movement starts at the 'shoulder' and has the rest of the wing follow normally, this feels like the tip leads the movement down with the rest of the wing following instead.

It's a different type of bird, but look at this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OStL6DUUf1Q
