goesselgoldOkay, more origami birds. There are tons of lovely models, among which this Kiwi by Gen Hagiwara looks especially beautiful. It’s not too difficult to fold, and I could make good use of the smaller sheets of paper I have.
Wings!
My growing collection of flying creatures.
Clockwise, from top: Phoenix (Satoshi Kamiya), Flying Peacock (Weng Meining), Blackiston’s Fish Owl (Kyohei Katsuta), Bald Eagle (Quentin Trollip), Ruby Throated Hummingbird (Robert Lang).
Two papers, different effects. Satoshi Kamiya’s Lyrebird, folded from red Damul kraft paper and from yellow tissue foil. Which one do you like better?
Little Bird, by Satoshi Kamiya
Folded by me from a 30 cm square of Luminous Thai from origami-shop.com

Ur Ya'arRanlett's Flapping Bird (with minor modifications)
By Samuel L. Randlett
From the book *Origami in Action* by Robert J. Lang
Used my lunch break to put some work into re-shaping the head of the egret, so that the eyes look more like Jeong Jae Il designed them to look.
»Egret« btw does not have a direct German translation (and there is no German Wikipedia page for it), because it does not refer to a single species of herons, but more to a visual appearance of both the Great Egret (ardea alba, Silberreiher) and the Little Egret (egretta garzetta, Seidenreiher). Now you know.
Egret, designed by Jeong Jae Il, folded by me from a 50 cm square of mulberry paper.
With the shaping of the head not quite there yet, and differently postured than the original, but I like it enough to show it to you.
