Origami hummingbird

Mitchell mentioned that (1) I should put out a hummingbird feeder and not torment the poor things, and (2) that he wanted to learn to make the hummingbird/flower origami that illustrated my post about the poppies.

I could not find the instructions to make that exact item, but I did find this amazing video of Andrés Plazas making an origami hummingbird. It it eight minutes long and you may not have the patience to watch the whole thing, in which case you can fast forward to the end to see what it looks like. But it is fascinating if you take the time to watch how he does it. Think of it as a meditation.
