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.

Stuff fully, add in a magnet before stuffing closed so that your seagull can attach to anything metal!
To make your Flamingo “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!

Hello! I love this pattern! I just wanted to comment that for the wing for me “Row 3L” seemed like an accidental repeat and unnecessary. Anyway, I cut it out of mine and it’s great! I couldn’t find the extra Row 3L in the video
