Hi, does anyone know where I can purchase a pattern and instructions on to make a "dancing" bird from PVC material? Very much appreciated!

You are asking about the PVC Florida Dancing Bird and the picture you show I believe is of a copyrighted bird so you may not find this pattern as the company sells the completed birds and does not sell the patterns.

There are several other styles but not very many of any type of 'dancing' birds.
Here are some links to different designs that have patterns for several birds but all are downloads the I have found which means you will have to print the pattern and enlarge it to whatever size bird you wish to make.

You can find several sites with instructions on how to make PVC birds but not the one you have pictured. I'm sure you realize that making these birds is not a 'simple' project but, if not, please watch some of the videos and some instruction links to see what is involved as several tools are needed to even begin the work.

This video was taken by QVC and these were posted for sale for a short time so I do not know if these were actually made by the Florida company and sold on QVC or if someone almost copied one of their designs as the link to QVC does not even take you to QVC any longer which means they will not be selling these again.

I think you may have to be satisfied with making one of the other designs. The Egret is certainly a neat looking design.
Good luck - have fun.
This is follow-up information:
As I stated before, the dancing flamingo bird designs are copyrighted but you will find some of the finished birds listed for sale on Etsy so some people may think there are different people making them but if you check closely, you'll find they are being marketed by 2 different companies and these birds are being purchased ()holesale) from the Florida company that holds the copyright.
There is a bird template to download on this tutorial.

If you read the comments under this video you will see how many people are looking for help with making these birds and nobody is answering.

I have been looking for this pattern for a friend is the reason I have shared so many links but Have not been able to find a nice-looking dancing bird pattern - some similar but not like this.
Hopefully someone else will find a good legal pattern that everyone can share.
Thank you Jennifer, I have purchased your patterns in the past, and you are right, they are not as easy to make as they look!!! Karen
Thanks for your response! I purchased several patterns from crazydiymom awhile ago, but can't find a pattern to purchase for the dancing birds. Guess I have to try the trial and error method!
I will be selling patterns as well as the part and/directions how to make the attachment for the birds on Etsy within a week or so. In the long run it is cheaper to buy the part from me then to buy all the parts to make it unless you plan on making a lot of them.
Please provide copyright number because I contacted them and there is no copyright on file for Florida Dancing birds. They do have a trademark for their name. There is several companies now selling their own version of this bird.
Concernant ces flamands il est impossible de les monter pour qu'ils basculent en avant en arrière , j'en ai 5 et ça ne fonctionne pas
Translation: Regarding these flamingos it is impossible to mount them so that they tilt back and forth, I have 5 of them and it does not work

There are YouTube videos also.

I apologize, I thought I had deleted the picture I posted, I had added it before I saw the do not post FB pictures, only my own. Obviously it didn't delete. Karen
This bird is NOT copyrighted. The name of the company is Trademarked. I am in process of making patterns for egret, flamingo, loon and flamingo as well as a blue heron. I have already made the attachment part that makes the bird swirl and bob.
I am soo interested in getting the parts and pattern for the dancing bird. Please contact me when you start selling this!
Please visit my listing in Etsy. I have full patterns of Flamingos, Heron, Loon/Duck and Egrets. They patterns come with dad, mom and baby and full instructions how to make a dancing bird with instructions to make the bracket that makes them dance.
