I'm really interested in action models and I don't really know of any. Does anyone know of some?

Well I've folded the spring into action and the flapping bird but I'll have to try the other ones, too! Can't wait to make some more though!

Jeremy Shafer's other book "Origami To Astonish and Amuse" also has a lot of good action models in it.
