Product Description
The Original Drinking Bird has been a scientific novelty favorite for decades. Our little bird bobs his red beak into a glass of water again and again. When the funny bird is in motion, he appears to be in a perpetual motion machine, but it is actually an example of evaporation heat engine in our physics lesson

First dunk the bird’s blue top hat and red head in a glass of water. Watch the magic liquid quickly rise into his head. Then, he tips over and takes another drink, like clockwork. Buy some drinks for him today! This favorite toy from the 1960’s is back!

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It arrived in good condition, despite the shipper bending/crushing the small box holding the item. Packaging was sufficient to withstand government abuse - a good thing.
Instructions on the box were adequate to get it working quickly, but neglect to inform you that whatever surface this sets on will get wet, with one drop of water per head bob. Perhaps some head bobs don't leave a drop behind, but I haven't watched it long enough yet.
In operation, this essentially transfers the water in the cup to both the air (through evaporation), and to the back end side of the bird, on the surface under the bird pedestal. I hope that makes sense. Important: Make sure that whatever the pedestals rests on is waterproof.
This is very enjoyable to watch - kind of mesmerizing, like a campfire. Especially if you are a big kid (50's), like me.

I had to make a minor adjustment to the positioning of the center support to get it to dip continuously as long as the water level is kept within range. Fun toy! Thanks for making it available!
