Start of the crow

I took a cylinder , flattened it and cut off the end polygons. I then extended it to form the main body.

I carried on extending it and shaped the beak, splitting it in half to enable it to move later on.

I then extended the other end to form the tail, and met at the end.

This was the main body of the bird completed.

My main sources for the bird's shape is various images found on google search.
