How to Make it...

Made up of one knitted piece to form the main body, one knitted piece to form the neck, and one knitted piece to form the beak and head. The legs are each made from a single knitted piece, rolled lengthwise, and four separate small knitted pieces are made to make up the two feet. Additionally, there are two small knitted pieces to form the side facial triangles. These knitted pieces are sewn together, and the body, neck, and head are lightly stuffed. Embroidery then adds some finer detail for facial features. Wings are optional.
