Toucan neck by sandy5280, on Flickr

I don't understand how to make a vertical fold, rather than one on an angle. I appreciate any help.

At the bottom of the vertical fold, you will have to squash the paper into a little triangle. (Spread fold? I forget what this is called.) Like this, seen from the inside of the neck:



This thins the neck appropriately. (I've only done one side here, seen from the outside, like the diagram.)



Hopefully this helps. Have fun!

I never would have figured that out! And your photo made it perfectly clear. Thank you so much.
