2. Sew beak to face.

3. Sew neck frill to neck.

4. Sew arms to body.

5. Sew legs to body.

6. Cut the following out of felt, and sew/glue to respective body parts:

> Pink: head feather - cut a 2-shape (but without the extended line) and paint blue stripes on it

> Red: claws - I like to cut a rectangular strip of desired length and width, and then cut a backward-3 into it to create the claw shape
