 LEGS:

25 chain
Thread cut, leaving a little to sew

BEAK:

Knead polymer clay till it is soft.

First form a ball a little less than 1 cm (0,4 in), then roll it out a little,
to form a cone 1.5 cm (0,6 in) long, and slightly flatten the cone
from the sides.
Bend the tip of the cone down, and the wide part of the it should
have a boat-like shape. It means it needs a slight deepening in the
middle to fit the shape of the head, to which it will be glued.
Attach it to the head to see if it fits. Make a through hole with a
needle for sewing it to the head. It's optional though as the nose
can be simply glued.
Bake the clay according to the instructions.
Paint it white with acrylic paint (it's optional if your clay is pure
white).
Paint the tip of the nose black, slightly bevelled.

the legs, I put some glue on them and fix in a desired shape.
