In this lesson we’ll be crocheting the trash birbs of the ocean, a Seagull birb! I call these guys ‘Birbs’ because they’re secret agents disguised as different kind of birds! I really like the large beak for this pattern as it really opens up the options for many different bird types other than a seagull!

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 Seagull “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!
