Features:- Drinking Bird A rather dumb looking 6" bird with a felt covered head and has plastic feet. Worse, he cannot get his fill of water. You buy the drinks.
- Fluid inside condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely.
- It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately priced. WARNING! The fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain, and the bird's glass body can easily be broken.
- Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch it, not fondle it!!

It depends on your mood. It is amazing. Take the glass of water away and he keeps "drinking." Kids like to guess if he'll go forever.
Be sure to put his head clear under water to start him. You can tell the humidity by how fast he goes -- 1 drink / minute or 1 per 20 seconds, ...
Quite difficult to figure out how he works because you can't see inside his head. --Enjoy (I bought one for $8, don't pay over $10)

These are exactly what you expect, and exactly what you want! They are so fun to set up and watch as they go INDEFINITELY as long as you keep their water supply filled ;)
ONLY problem is on certain surfaces the bird might "migrate" (ahahahahaha) a little, moving around slowly as it bobs up and down. I solved this by glueing a bunch of heavy bolts into the base of mine. Looks a little dorky, but hey, we're talking about goofy glass-bird things perpetually dunking their heads into water ...

I watched the bird for housrs. It in on my desk above my computer. Had to stop him because the felt on his head started getting loose.

Man I've been wanting one of these ever since I was little and saw one on the simpsons and at a school store. Awesome for bringing back memories for old toys in the past.

It's an okay gift for the price, however it lost its novelty after the first couple of days. Slightly educational because it encourages young kids to ask questions. Construction is cheaper than I thought it would be and the plastic legs seems overly flimsy.
