Match the shape, size and colour to the parts pictures. A stud is a round bump on top. Count rows and columns from one edge.
Follow the pictures
New pieces keep their full colour. Earlier pieces are lighter. Keep the front of the model facing you unless a step says to turn it.
Build and play together
Gather all the pieces first, then take each step at your own pace. Help your child press pieces together and lift removable parts gently.
The wings and perch are fixed; this model does not flap or glide.
Move it by the rock and central body, with the wing tips clear.

One step at a time
New pieces are in colour. Earlier pieces are lighter.
Step 1 of 11
Add: 1 × brown 4 × 4 plate; 2 × brown 2 × 4 brick
Lay a brown 4 × 4 plate flat. Put two brown 2 × 4 bricks side by side on it.
Step 2 of 11
Add: 1 × brown 2 × 2 brick; 1 × brown 4 × 4 plate
Put a brown square in the middle of the rock. Add a brown 4 × 4 plate on top, lined up with the brown floor.
Step 3 of 11
Add: 2 × red 2 × 8 plate
Put two red 2 × 8 plates across the rock, end to end. Each overlaps the rock by two columns and projects six columns out to its side.
Step 4 of 11
Add: 1 × red 4 × 4 plate
Join the wings with a red 4 × 4 plate centred above the rock.
Step 5 of 11
Add: 2 × red 2 × 4 plate
Add a red 2 × 4 plate to the inner half of each wing. Their back rows project one row behind the wings.

Put a red 2 × 6 brick down the middle, starting one row behind the rock and reaching one row in front.

Put a red curved brick on the back of the body, rounded end pointing backwards.
Step 8 of 11

Put a yellow 2 × 4 plate on the front of the body. Its back two rows overlap and its front two rows project forwards.
Step 9 of 11
Add: 1 × yellow 2 × 3 steep sloping brick
Add a yellow steep slope to the front half of the beak, high edge facing the head. Its pointed end projects one row beyond the plate.
Step 10 of 11
Add: 1 × black 2 × 2 brick; 1 × red 2 × 2 brick
Put a black square over the back half of the beak. Finish with a red square on top.
Step 11 of 11

Put a red square just behind the head. Add a red steep slope on top, projecting one row backwards with its high edge towards the head.

Make a little story
From the side, look for the long beak and backward crest. The wings stay fixed on the rocky perch.
These new revisions have digital checks. They do not carry a new physical-test claim.
