Reading this Pattern
The panels are worked from the bottom up. The beak is crocheted onto each panel first and then the panels are crocheted together.
At the beak, you will need to switch from grey to black from one row to the next. When switching to a new colour, insert your hook into the stitch for the last stitch of Colour A and pull up a loop, then, with Colour B, yarn over and complete the stitch by pulling through both loops with Colour B. Drop your working yarn in Colour A and continue with Colour B.

Assembly
Step 1: Eye and Wing
The first thing we need to do is stitch on the eye. I used a sewing needle and black sewing thread to stitch crochet thread in place to give the eye a nice curve. Feel free to add eyelashes or use a safety eye instead.
Next, stitch on the wing to the front body panel using Rust. I opted to stitch down only the front half (closest to the neck) and leave the back half unstitched to create some dimension.
Step 2: Body
Before you begin, cut a length of Powder yarn about 30cm/12″ long and set it aside for later. Place the two panels together matching up all sides. Make sure the front is facing you as you crochet around.
Starting on the left side of the neck at the top, begin attaching the panels together. Insert your hook into both panels, chain 1, and then single crochet around the outside of the panels.
When crocheting around, try to crochet with a looser tension than usual. Crocheting loosely, especially around the curved areas, helps keep all the edges curved.
Crochet down the neck and across the top of the body. [Sc, ch 1, sc] in the tip of the tail.
Continue to crochet down around the bottom. Stop about halfway across the bottom.
Begin stuffing the body now (it’s important to stuff the body as much as you can before you join the legs in the next step, because it will be trickier to reach the tail for stuffing after the legs are attached).
Using the length of yarn you set aside earlier, insert the legs between the panels and stitch them in place by stitching through all three pieces: the back panel, the leg and the front panel. Once secure, tie a knot and hide the yarn tails inside the panels.
Top up stuffing as much as you can. The body should be mostly stuffed now.
Continue crocheting across the bottom. When you get to the legs, crochet into the stitches of the front panel only, since this section is already sewn shut. Continue crocheting both panels together as usual once you are past the legs.
Crochet all the way up the neck and around the bottom of the head, making sure to stop after every four or five stitches to stuff. Use a chopstick or the back of your hook to help stuff if you need to. Make sure the stuffing is very firm so that the neck is strong enough to withstand its own weight.
Switch to grey and then black yarn when crocheting around the beak. [Sc 1, ch 1, sc} in the tip of the beak.
Switch back to pink. Stuff the beak and head. Continue to crochet around the top of the head, stuffing as you go.
When you are satisfied with the stuffing, close with a slst and tie off. Poke yarn tails back inside the piece.
