In The Arrival, by Shaun Tan, the protagonist makes origami, including this bird.

enter image description here

Can that figure actually be folded, as drawn? Or did the author just draw something vaguely origami-ish?

Looking at Robert J. Lang's Opus 822, Northern Mockingbird, it's entirely possible to create a base for a bird model that incorporates flaps for head, wings, tail, and legs. How easy it might be to do without being Lang or knowing a technique to create a base with the appropriate flaps for those features (e.g., circle-packing), I don't know.
