Origami Birds

Origami Birds

In addition to paper cranes and flapping birds, there are hundreds of other bird models. Bird models are easy to create because a piece of paper has 4 corners and this corresponds with the 4 parts of a bird: head, tail, and two wings. Maybe you can try creating your own bird model.
