As you may know the big bird is yellow.
So, we will use yellow balloons
to make the head and the body.
First we are going to make the head.
Inflate a balloon leaving a four inch flat tail.

Twist the first four inch bubble.
It is the beak.
The next ten bubbles you will twist
and lock forming a five points star.
