Stack the 3 x 4 pieces on top of each other into one pile and then fold them accordion style. Do the same for the 2 x 3 sheets of paper.

Cut out a little piece of wire and wrap it around the middle of each stack (separately). Twist the wire so that the stack will stay folded.

Fluff out each layer toward the middle to form a little paper pom-pom. Then add a bit of glue to the smaller pom-pom to attach it to the bigger pom-pom.

Cut out a piece of 1/2 in square out of the orange paper for the beak. Fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Put a dab of glue on the folded edge and position the beak inside a few folds of the smaller pom-pom.
