Step 2: Fold the paper in half by folding the top corner to the bottom corner. You should have an upside down triangle.

Step 3: Fold part of the top down so that the edge is about halfway down. Don't make this flap too thin because this will become the wings.

Step 4: Turn the paper over.

Step 5: Take the bottom corner of the top layer and fold it up like this.

Step 6: Fold the figure in half by folding the left side over to the right.

Step 7: Now fold that same flap back like this to make one of the wings.

Step 8: Fold the other wing back also.

Step 9: Push the center of the head in and flatten. This is called an inside reverse fold.

And now you have yourself a bird!
