I'll help
I have 2 years of animation class under my belt ,so really I know what I'm talking about.
Step.1 if your going to make any animation and not spend a lot of time on it. You can never go wrong with making some guide lines![[Image: pixlessonpt1.png]](/image.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fimg188.imageshack.us%2Fimg188%2F9605%2Fpixlessonpt1.png&hash=7febabb8d28fb40a94f7e3b8db2d4cc7)
(these may seem very useless but they're the most important)
Notice how it folds? This will make it look like it has joints.
Step.2
Add the bird body.

Step.3 add more poses between the major poses , (it's pretty much the animating part)

If some of your between poses look almost the same just in the wrong direction feel free to just copy and flip it.
Tip: the more between poses the slower, the lesser between poses the faster
If you want to knock their socks off use both it's called slow-in slow out. So add less poses in the middle of the flap more poses toward the ends.
Step 4.Oh no! my bird is handy-capable he only has one wing! No need to worry just copy his only wing and horizontal flip it do some editing so you see the other side of the wing drag the bird over it. Now you're done!
