Anthon's bird

Fugl
A kind of craw bird.
Anthon's bird is not difficult, and a bit untraditionally it should be folded from a half-square triangle. A square may be used, but then the bird becomes mono-coloured.

Take a square paper and cut it along the diagonal. Each becomes a bird, and if you use duo-paper one bird may have one head colour, the other bird the other head colour. 15 cm paper (or square of A5) is a fine size.
