Origami Birds

From cardinals to cockatoos, falcons to flying ducks, parakeets to penguins, these colorful paper projects are for those who appreciate our feathered friends. Duy Nguyen, the popular author of more than a dozen origami books, presents 19 varied species, along with all the folds and symbols any crafter needs to create nests full of winged creatures. The detailed diagrams, easy to follow and spaciously organized on the page, explain every step. Each one is an elegant delight: the delicate hummingbird; a tricolored heron with a long, pointy beak; and even a turkey youÕd be proud to show off on Thanksgiving.
