"Origami birds are pretty cool but they're kind of boring because they really don't do anything. Hi my name is Robert Segundo and today I'm going to teach you how to make a twirling bird, something a little bit more fun to keep your mind a little bit more engrossed. So what we are going to do is we are going to take our square piece of paper that I have right here. Basically what we are going to do is we are just going to take it and sheet fold it here like so and we are going to take it and fold it in half just like at the crease of what we want and we are going to open it back up. We are going to take and fold our triangle point down past you know just anywhere where you can find a spot to your choosing. It is not really exact on this one and we are just going to take it and fold it back up like so and go ahead and take and fold the wings down. Now you can probably get real creative with this and just take this triangle and fold and let's just do this and get creative and fold a little birdie head in there just for fun. It looks like a seagull because we all love seagulls so much if only they tasted like chicken. Alright, there you have it. There's your twirling bird and now what we are going to do is give him a toss in the air and it sort of flies but mostly falls so play around with it, have fun and enjoy."
