The Parrot

Hello, we’re going to make a parrot today. Inflate a balloon leaving a three-inch flat tail. The first two bubbles, you twist to make the head. Twist the first three-inch bubble. Twist the second three-inch bubble. Hold the bubbles together and lock both ends of the chain of the two bubbles in one lock twist. Twist a short one-inch bubble, it’s a neck. The next three bubbles will make the bird body wings and body. We will make them using the bird body fold or bird body twist. Twist the fourth five-inch bubble. Twist the fifth five inch bubble. Lock both ends of the chain of the last two bubbles in one lock twist. You have made the wings of the parrot.

Twist the sixth four inch bubble. Lock three end of the sixth bubble between the fourth and fifth bubbles. Pull the fourth and fifth bubbles apart and roll the sixth bubble between them. You’ve made the bird body twist a whole. The next four bubbles will make legs of the parrot. Twist the seventh one-inch bubble. Twist the eight one-inch bubble. Twist the ninth one-inch bubble and the tenth one-inch bubble. Lock both ends of the chain of the last four bubbles in one lock twist. The rest part of the balloon is the eleventh bubble. It’s the tail. You have made the parrot, use a permanent marker to draw the face and wings of the parrot.

Congratulations! You have made the parrot. You also have learned the bird body twist or bird body fold.

There would be just little difference in the size and proportions of their bubbles. Have fun.
