Q&A for How to Make a Bird Costume

You can find detailed instructions and visual inspiration for making a penguin costume by searching on Google or exploring ideas on Pinterest.

Sparrows are mostly brown. A super simple costume could just be brown tee-shirt or sweater and brown trousers, pants or shorts or a skirt. A triangle of grey card, folded, can be attached with sticking-plaster, such a band aid, to represent the sparrow's beak.

First, figure out how to make the wings by searching Youtube or Pinterest for "DIY bird wings." Next, make a beak out of yellow cardstock, for color, a wrapping paper tube, to give it shape, and elastic bands, to attach it to your face. Complete the look by applying hummingbird-like make-up to your face; Youtube or Pinterest may come in handy here, as well.

It's not "wrong," as in not immoral or illegal, but you will probably get some strange looks.

To create a hen costume, adapt the article's instructions for the raven or blue jay costumes. Focus on using white or brown base clothing and incorporating white, brown, or speckled feathered items to achieve a distinctive hen appearance.

Try making the owl costume in the steps above but instead, use red, orange, and yellow feathers and wings to give your costume the fiery look a phoenix would have.
