MandarinDuck_Body_Rig_grp is the main rigging that controls the model.
CTR_gravity controls the movement of the body, and it has 7 customized attributes:
Head_hair_puff switches between fluffy hair and smooth hair;
head_IK_follow controls whether the head moves following the body in IK mode;
neck_FK switches to FK control of neck;
neck_IK_IKSpline switches the control mode of the neck between IK and Spline IK;
neck_IK_Stretch controls the stretch limit of the neck in IK mode;
neck_follow controls whether the root of the neck moves following the body in IK or FK mode;
tongue_IKFK controls the switch of IK/FK of the tongue.
IKFK_leg.L and IKFK_leg.R come with 2 customized attributes:
IK_FK controls the IK/FK switch of the legs;
IK_stretch controls the stretch limit of the legs in IK mode.
CTR_toe_action.L and CTR_toe_action.R control the extension and flexion of the feet.
CTR_foldwing.L and CTR_foldwing.R control the folding of the wings by their Location.

To reset the model to the default posture:

1. Disable all shape keys whose name includes Animation_Repair of the object MandarinDuck_Body;
   
2. Disable all the hair shape keys whose name includes hair_shape under particle systems MandarinDuck_Hair_ChestandMandarinDuck_Hair_Head02" of the object MandarinDuck_Body.
   
3. Disable all the hair shape keys whose name includes hair_shape under the particle system MandarinDuck_Hair_Head01 of the object MandarinDuck_Head.
   
4. Remove all animation data and key frames in the object MandarinDuck_Face03_Feather_Rig_grp, set the Location and Rotation of the controllers to 0, and scale to 1;
   
5. Remove all animation data and key frames in the object MandarinDuck_Body_Rig_grp, set the Location and Rotation of the controllers to 0, and scale to 1;
   To get a nice effect, the settings below are required for such thick feathers:
   
6. Set Total under Light Paths to 12 or larger;
   
7. Set Transparency under Light Paths to 25 or larger;
