How to Make Moving Mechanical Paper Parrots and Macaws

These paper parrots aren't hard to make at all. Instead of using metal clasps, you use something called a spear point. A spear point is just a diamond / spear at the end of a leg (for example) or other moving part. You just fold the ennds of the diamond in so you can fit it in the slot of the body of the parrot, and then you open up the shape to be a diamond again so that they leg or other moving part, can't fall out of the body of the parrot. Look at the diagram to see how this works. Print out the Color Moving Parrot Diagram Right Here. Print out the Black and White Version if you don't have a color printer or if you want to colorize it on your own.
