Sorry, it takes about 8 hours to make one, and I don't have a pattern or "step by step" process. I just twist wires together as I make a bird (or dog, or person, or whatever) shape. For this stop-motion video, I took pictures when there was a noticeable change in the bird, but it goes very slowly in real life.

You're sooo nice!

Ooh, that is very nice. I really like the bird *and* the music. Cool!

Only one problem with this bird it looks hard to make

It's kinda fast to see where everything goes eventhough you can pause it, but I love it!!!

Please make a video tutorial( like one that isn't stop motion) :) XD

It goes too fast too take in and appreciate the work that goes into the making of the birds. I think the work is really good, which is why I would have liked to watch it being made... Thank you.
