The Bird sculpture has 4 parts, and there’s a pattern on how many times you can rotate them, which are as follows:

  1. Talons – Press Once
  2. Beak – Press Twice
  3. Wing 1 (3rd Sculpture) – Press 3 times
  4. Wing 2 (4th Sculpture) – Press 3-4 times

Once finished, this will trigger a cutscene where the wall will split in half and reveal the path for the main story.
