The Origami Forum

hi everyone!
I want to fold some awesome open fingered birds... I have already folded diaz stuff etc..,i want something different....if anybody knows some awesome origami birds then pls post in the comments:) thank u .,

I don't understand what you mean by "open fingered"

i am sorry my english isnt good:( by open fingers i mean claws....

Quentin Trollip's eagle comes to mind...

Nguyen Hung Cuong eagle. Seth friedman's cooper hawk, eagle; Robert lang's birds?

If you want claws

There is no better than this.


For a whole model, Nguyen eagle is the one of the best.

Wow! Those are some incredible claws! Whose design Froy?

that is seth friedman's red tailed hawk. his flickr went curiously silent 4 years ago. i wonder if he's "retired," but he seems to remain active with OUSA.

notably, as far as i can tell, there is no secret with regards to the claws on any complex avian design. they are simple flaps with lots of shaping.

wow the eagle is awesome....btw how much difficult is it?

Since I'm looking for a good bird of prey myself, I might aswell join this topic. The red tailed hawk only has a crease pattern. although I hope it is diagrammed somewhere. The coopers hawk by friedman is diagrammed in one of the tanteidan books if I remember correctly.
If your focus is on the talons of the bird you could look at roman diaz's crane of r. Langs. I believe both have been diagrammed.
I would like to see some other hawk, harrier falcon models with diagrams. I would like to fold one as a present for my mom. Please let me know if know some models.

i have already folded roman diaz crane,.but can some one tell me how much complex is nguyen eagle?harder than ancient dragon?super complex? Hehe!

Harder than ancient dragon

you have a very one track mind.

There are plenty of "open fingered" birds out there. I got one (check my flickr).. if you want to fold mine, I have a CP. Also as others have stated, there are tons of them out there. Nguyen Hung Cuong Eagle, A lot of seth friendmans stuff, etc. good luck!
