>(2) New Flapping Bird, diagrammed in “Art of Origami” by Samuel Randlett
>(1961, pg 126-127). This one is often called Randlett’s Flapping Bird. You
>start with a Triangle Base (reverse of the Square Base), turn one “arm” to
>the left so you get 3 “arms” on the left, one on the right, and so on. It
>requires an unusual squash which makes it hard for beginners, unless you
>carefully break the maneuver down into small steps. I’ve seen this model so
>many times, I would think it could be considered to be in the public
>domain, but of course credit must be given to Mr Randlett (born 1930 per
>Wikipedia, where is he today?). Is Mr Randlett available to be queried
>about this? And, I also found a reference to this model being diagrammed in
>“Story-gami Kit” by LaFosse & Alexander (2010), see origamido.com.
