1Start with a bird base.

Valley fold both sides of theupper layer to the middleand open again.The creases shouldnt passthe horizontal line.

2

Precrease the following valley folds,which are changed into mountainfolds later on.The vertical line has to meet thecircled corner. Make sure to creaseonly the short distance between thetwo dots on the horizontal and verticalline.While making this crease, the flapdoesnt lie flat.

3

Repeat step 2 on the other sideand unfold again.

Now make the circled edges meet theupper corners across, similar to step 2and 3. Crease only between the dots.I had best results with this angle, butyou could also experiment with right angles,shown in step (B).

(B) Optional

Collapse the upper layer byfolding up the dot, so ittouches the vertical line.Note, that the precreasedvalley folds, which youmade in step 2, 3 and 4will have to change intomountain folds.The four additional valley foldsA) and B) will come naturally.

Fold model in half, whilebringing down the lower tipof the bird base on theindicated valley and mountainfolds.

This is what your model shouldlook like now.Swing up layer from underneathto the top.

Lets have a look under the first layer. Push up markedcorner to make the tail.

Turn model

Inside reverse fold the neck.

(In this 3D diagram the firstlayer is folded down, to allowa better view on to the tailunderneath. Dont crease.)In the next diagram you willnotice, that part of the tailspaper swang to the left side.

Turn model over.

This is, what the model looks like from behind.Repeat step 9 on this side. While you push upthe hidden marked corner, the tail will slip upinto the vertical position, shown in the followingdiagram.

This extra layer is the little difference, youwill notice when turning the model over.

In the next diagrams Ill usewhite slivers to indicate under-neath layers. Bring back the top layer to theformer position.Widen tail inside with yourthumb, so it doesnt lie flat.

12

Inside reverse fold the tip of the tail.First mountain fold, then valley fold theleg as indicated. Optionally you couldmake a crimp fold instead, to create awider foot.Mountain fold part of the hind insidethe body. Repeat behind.

Mountain fold leg in half,to make it thinner. Repeaton the other leg.In case you tried a crimpfold in step 12, you can skipthis step.

Complete rooster.

View of the other sideof the leg.

Make several inside reverse folds,to create the head.Valley fold the chest to obtain anicely curved eye (paper shouldnt lie flat)and inside reverse fold the leg as shown.Repeat behind.

Inside reverse fold the front of themodel to prepare the head.In the diagram you can see thehidden mountain fold.Then mountain fold the leg andvalley fold again. Turn model overand repeat behind.
