Looks like a mole with wings, tree toes on hands and feet.
I have no experience with either treemaker or crease pattern making or boxpleating. However, maybe you could look for a model of mole, or maybe a bear, and then add/graft a strip to create some wings. That's the way I started out designing my own stuff. Find a good base, and add some grafts to see what it does to a model. I'm afraid you are not going to find an 'easy' answer to you questions. Read, practise other peoples models, modify bases etc. Maybe you got some more pictures of the subject?

BTW: Is bioshock infinite already released? ... thinking about buying. Is this the 'bird' creature?

Treemaker may not be the best way to start designing, as references are difficult... this is also a very complex subject, not a good idea for a new designer. Maybe start a bit simpler, and use ODS to assist you.
