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).

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.

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.
