Description
This is a traditional origami model, often referred to as the Flapping Bird or Flapping Crane. It is folded from a single sheet of duo-color paper, resulting in a bird with a distinct body color and contrasting wing color. By gently pulling the tail, the wings can be made to flap, making it an engaging action model.
