Origami

For part of my Halloween decorations for work I need to make a bunch of 3D birds so I thought origami would be the best solution. I Googled a lot of different options and stumbled upon an article that stated some people do origami to be calm and find tranquility. Well, let me tell you that was bull shit! I spent two hours attempting to make the birds but they didn't turn out at all! I tried looking at videos on youtube but I still couldn't get down right. The type of bird I'm trying to make needs to look like it's in motion. All of the easy videos are for birds that are perched. If you have any suggestions I would happily love to hear them!
