Hummingbird (Design by Gregory Knesner)
This is an intermediate model of a Hummingbird from the book by Robert Harbin – Origami 4. This book, might I add, is a very old and rare book, which is now difficult to obtain. A friend of mine sent this to me sometime ago and I thought of trying this model out, from it.
As with most of Harbin’s books, only the main steps or instructions are used and each of these are a combination of successive simple steps. It takes a bit of getting used to and makes even the simple models look a tad bit complicated.
For this particular hummingbird, I used construction paper of A4 size cut down into a square sized sheet of about 9” or so. I am not all too pleased with the manner in which the wings of the hummingbird turned out, but that’s the best I could do with it, after half on hour of struggling. 
My guess is that this book by Robert Harbin, is no more in print and the design might not be on the Internet, too. I have come across many designs for the hummingbird, but I liked this one the best of all.
Maybe the next time I try it, there will be an improvement on the wings
