Hi i just want know the easiet way to rig a flamingo. It's actually my first time rigging animals and would like to know if there are any plugins or 3rd party software that i can use. thank you.

if you use Maya i recommend advanced skeleton. 

There are some other auto-rigger plugins that could be worth looking at - i have not used any others except advanced skeleton. but its always been good enough that i had no motivation to look at alternatives. 

you could start from the sample human rig and just make a few modifications to turn it into flamingo. you might be able to find some existing bird rigs - might search truongCG. there is a gumroad store where a guy has quite a few advanced skeleton rigs and a lot of creatures.
