Bird or Chicken In Baby Sign Language (ASL)

The pads of your dominant hand's pointer and thumb touch while the middle, ring, and pinky fingers are folded into a fist. Be sure your pointer and thumb are not curved. Your palm is facing the same direction as your head.

Place your first knuckle of your pointer finger at the corner of your mouth (on the same side that is your dominant hand). Moving only the pointer and thumb, open and close your fingers twice in a pinching motion. This is to resemble the beak of a bird.

Please see images below for more clarification.
