He's probably just changed it a bit since he picked it up off some yr11s. Either that or when he said he invented it, he was reffering to "daffodil ninja" a game he ripped of ninja, which is the same, just you pull a stupid face instead of striking a pose.

My real name is Mark, the "fiend" bit comes from the band Alien Sex Fiend. I use markfiend everywhere online.

It doesn't have to be a good reason, right?

Roodborst is dutch for a red robin (a type of bird) Since my last name is borst (translated brest or chest; in dutch the same word) and my hair is rood (rood=red) roodborst was kinda nice. Been using this name for several years now on different kind of forums. Still looking for a good red robin origami model!

Eh? Oh well.
That robin is awesome roodborst! The wings are so neat and the colour change is so accurate! How long did it take?

It took me five folds to get it where it is now. Once I figured out how to do the colorchange, the rest was pretty straightforward. But I had already folded a bird very similar to this one, about a year ago. Only it was with a piece of 5cm x5cm memoblock paper.
