Day 6 and day 7
I took a little break on day 5 and spent most of the days 6 and 7 afternoons watching animation tutorials, looking for references, and trying to animate my sprites.
Day 8
Today I managed to finish all my animations and put them in the game.
I made a running amination for my squirrel 
for fall and jump I just use one frame from run animation.
For a bird, I have 3 animations: idle, jump and fly. Idle and jump share 2 frames. 
I made my birds randomly hop around. How cute is that?!
As of now, I have all movement logic in place for both the player and the birds, so I can start designing levels, hurray :)
