Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments below, or you find can me on Instagram or Twitter. I’d love to hear your views on this origami parrot for beginners.

The calendars are also great if you make the origami new years resolution to fold something everyday. I’ve not found the origami parrot instructions anywhere else but I suspect these calendars recycle the models, in which case this may be the best place to find the diagrams. I found the origami parrot diagram for this model in an origami page-a-day calendar I was given a few years ago. If you are looking for a more complex origami parrot, you might enjoy the origami Macaw model. It takes about five minutes to fold this – maybe slightly longer for the absolute beginner. You could use some more expensive textured paper for this model, but as it is a representative design rather than a realistic one, it isn’t really necessary. I used orange because I always have lots of it left at the end of every box of paper. It doesn’t need to be two-colour paper as you only see the back of the paper around the neck, but I quite like it. Any paper will do – I have folded this one out of ordinary 15cm x 15cm (6in x 6in) kami origami paper, coloured differently on each side.

It can be folded by anyone that can understand how to do a reverse fold, so if you can fold a traditional crane, you can fold this. Kids would find it fun if they were given a drink with a parrot sitting on it at a birthday party. It looks very good as a model in its own right, but because of the long tail and the position of the feet, it sits well on an edge – such as a finger, or the rim of a glass. This paper parrot is a lot more simple than some of Lang’s more famous designs, but that doesn’t make it any less attractive. I will be reviewing this book later, so stay turned back then. Lang also wrote Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art, which has become the standard book on learning origami design. The gallery on his website is worth viewing. See Disclosure below for more information. Note: This post contains affiliate links. I will be folding and reviewing some of Lang’s more complex models on this site in the future. He is best known for his complex models and has created some of the most beautiful and detailed models ever devised. Lang is one of the most famous names in origami. Owner: No no he’s not dead, he’s, he’s restin’! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn’it, ay? Beautiful plumage!įrom ‘The Dead Parrot Sketch’, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, 1969Įarlier this week I folded Eric Joisel’s Dwarf which is complex and took ages to do, so I’m posting something simpler today – Robert Lang’s Origami Parrot. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I’m looking at one right now. Praline: I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it, my lad. Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue…What’s,uh…What’s wrong with it? Praline: I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
