Legs

To make the legs cut a long piece of 9 gauge wire the length that you want both of the legs to be. I made each leg on my doll about 4" tall. Also remember you will need to add a bit more because you will bend the ends of the wire to create your doll's feet and you will need to add a bit for the wire that will be in your doll between both legs. Now bend the wire and poke it through your Doll where you want the legs placed. Then bend the legs straight, and bend little feet. Small jewellry pliers come in handy when bending the craft wire, especially when you make the feet. 

Assembly

Now sew the wings on your Bird. Sew on the beak and hair, and weave in all ends.
