From Colombia, land of hummingbirds, Andrés Plazas, shared with me a link to the video of an origami hummingbird he designed.
When I finally had some time to fold it, I discovered with delight that this hummingbird is an elegant and ingenious model based on the traditional origami crane. I did not want to pass up sharing it here.
Andrés offers us one of those models that in a few folds captures the essence of this little bird .

Gracias! Thank You! I’ll have to try it again with smaller and smaller paper….a test of patience! I love your photo!
Thanks! Yours looks better then mine but with a little practice I will get better (I hope). Best lesson I have seen yet. Your video makes it much easier. Thanks again.
Hi Leyla Torres,My daughter’s wedding is on 18 Jun.,I fold various type of origami flowers,leaves and stalks and I remember your lovely Hummingbird…..now I add it with the origami Flowers.Thanks for sharing…very grateful to your kind effort.
I have tried several times to watch this video but it stops half way through. This looks like the perfect origami hummingbird that I want for my wedding. I’m half way through my folding and want to see the remaining video. Any one have a suggestion about how I can see the rest of the video? Other than YouTube, is there another place I can go to see how to complete the folding? Thanks!
Hi Lynn,
I can see the whole video with no trouble. I am using Firefox as a browser. I would recommend clearing your browser cache, updating your browser to see if the situation improves, or trying another computer. Also, you may want to see it directly in the YouTube website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUKElGTi-tk&feature=player_embedded
I hope any of these suggestions works for you.
Leyla
