Crocheting is a great technique for making animals, because you can use it to make them as realistic or as cartoonish as you wish. Here are some patterns for making realistic bird amigurumi.
English Robin Free Crochet Pattern
The first pattern is an English Robin. This lovely fella with his red belly will definitely match any leafy decor or branch you place him on. The pattern is easy to make and is very rewarding for the beginner, as the finished bird is quite beautiful and a joy to behold. Patterns like this one, easy but with a spectacular endpoint, are a great way to build confidence and a love for the craft amongst beginners. A link to free pattern is included under the photos.

Amigurumi Puffin Free Crochet Pattern
Puffins are also a wonderful subject for crocheting. With their black and white “suit” and orange feet and beaks, they are every bit as elegant as penguins. In amigurumi form, their shape lends itself to easy crocheting and a fun time, especially with the kids. For the youngest ones, please consider crocheted eyes for safety.

Hiya
Thank you very much for sharing your Puffin and Red Robin patterns. They are absolutely fabulous. My niece and nephew will love them when I make them. Adding to my list of makes.
You have provided an opportunity for my learning to use a couple of colours intertwined in a pattern. It has been a skill avoided. Thank you.
Peace and kindness
