Spiked Bobble Stitch (sbo)

To make the head attached to the body instead of a Birb underneath (secret agent bird), change to Grey and continue from Rnd 6 on the Body, working in the BLO from Rnd 10.
To make the head separate, slst 1, cut the yarn, pull through and hide the end. Continue on with the body.

Using the tail end pull through the very center of the head and cut close to create a little tuft of hair at the top.

To make your chicken lay eggs use the finger puppet method before Rnd 11! Find the tutorial at ClubCrochet.com/PUPPET
Rnd 11: dec in each st (6)
Stuff fully, add in a magnet before stuffing closed so that your pigeon can attach to anything metal!
To make your Pigeon “pooping“ use a long strand of white yarn with knots on both ends pulled through the Birbs body, through the head, and hidden under the fake head. Pull the end coming from the butt to make him poop!
