When happy with the shape, cover the rest of the perimeter and backside of the rocks in black paint.
Using a fine-tip paintbrush, paint a small upside-down triangle in orange to make the beak.

Rock Painting Tips:
Protect your work surface with a sheet of newspaper or parchment paper.
Wash the rocks and let them dry completely before painting.
Allow the paint to fully dry between steps and when changing to a new color.
Repeat with as many coats as needed to achieve desired coverage.
