Parrot Papercraft Model Instructions

This document provides instructions for constructing a paper parrot model. It includes a diagram showing where to cut and fold the two pieces that make up the parrot. The instructions explain how to crease the curved folds on the back and tail, insert tabs into slots to form the wings and body, and fold the tail into a V-shape for balance when flying the completed model. Sticky tack is suggested to provide weight in the head for proper balance during flight.
