Product 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.
- 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!!

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 condensation rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. WARNING!

Customer Review: Freaking Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
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 . . . the whole time wearing top hats. It's pretty dorky already!
Order these and have some laughs, you won't be disappointed!
