Origami birds

We believe that imagination is one of origami’s best parts. Birds are the most popular way of expressing that imagination. Many of them represent freedom, beauty, and intelligence.

Here’s a super easy and cute origami bird. This is the simplest version, with a chubby body and the classic appearance of a bird that we often see in cartoons. Despite being so easy to make, it can also bring you a lot of enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment.

The hummingbird is a symbol of agility. Let's make a paper hummingbird. This is one of our collection of origami birds. We love this vivid birds because it gets the lovely searching for food position.

Sipho Mabona has a knack for creating origami that is both simple and elegant. Much like his popular origami koi installation, Mabona also created an art piece composed of a group of pastel colored origami swallows like the one pictured above. Mabona entitled the piece "Pursuit of Happiness". Instructional videos on how to fold your own swallow may be viewed here. As with most origami, each swallow is folded from a single square of paper.
