Hello,
I'm new to this software. I want to animate a bird flying from a top view perspective. Below I've given the url for an example of what I'm trying to achieve, but my bird will be much more cartoonish. Would this be possible with bones and deformation? If so, or if not, any tips or feedback is most certainly welcome.
Thank you.

This would definitely be possible. You'd want to bring in all parts of the bird, if possible, as their own assets. For example, the body, each wing, and the tail would be their own image. For the wing animation you may want to attempt image swapping as seen in this portion of Søren's video:

Thanks good to know it will probably be possible. I'm probably going to leave the tail animation out and just concentrate on the wings. Hopefully I can learn how to do so by just diving in, how I learn most things.
