1. Shape the beak with your hand first, because a long, hooked, flat or tiny beak tells the team a lot.
2. Show how the bird moves: waddling, soaring, hovering, wading on long legs or pecking at the ground.
3. For harder birds, add the setting, such as standing on one leg in water or perching high on a branch.
