How to Draw Basic Bird Shapes Activity - HOW DO BIRDS SLEEP?

Use this handy guide to draw just about any bird whether it is sitting, standing, flying, or sleeping!

Sitting or Standing:

1. Draw the body with wing, head, and tail. Draw two legs and feet (or one if it’s sleeping on one leg!)

Pro Tip : is your bird laying on the ground? Then don’t draw any feet!

2. Choose a beak shape based on what the bird eats.

Flying:

1. Draw the body. Make a triangle for the beak.

2. Choose one of the common tail and wing shapes.

*Birds with long narrow wings and forked tails go fast.

*Birds with wide wings and a wide tail like to soar.
