Guys I just folded 1000 cranes in 10 days I am so happy
hear is a picture

Congratulations.

But there's a topic on senbazurus here.

I think those are flapping birds...

You're right. Those aren't cranes. YOU LIE!!

still, it's a good achievment!

I think the blue one is a crane
and the pink one is a flapping bird

Actualy no (Well yes, but both of them are the flapping birds. The blue one is traditional). If you fold at blue's wing angle bisector and you pull the tail it will flap. To fold a crane you have to: when you fold the bird base you have to fold at angle bisector of the tail and head and then reverse fold.

WOW I never knew that
then all my books are wrong

what boks are they?

it is only one book it is called sadako and the 1000 paper cranes

Oh. Well looks like Sadako (RIP) was folding flapping birds, not cranes.

In 10 days? Wow

That's a hundred a day, a little over four hours for the average folder. While a bit ambitious, it's really not that difficult.

Im gonna try.

Congratulations! My congrats to your hands also for all of that folding ... and so quickly! Whew!
