Sew the eyes and the beak onto the top half of the body, I find it easier to pause and do it when you have worked half the body. Sew the wings on the sides. Stuff the body and make sure to put some extra stuffing in the ears. Position the legs and sew the bottom seam together at the samt time as attatching the legs.
