  • 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.
  • Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch it, not fondle it!!
  • Great for school science experiments, tricks, office desk toys and everyday fun!

The Magic of Science and Perpetual Motion

Imagine perpetual motion as the superhero power of never-ending movement! Now, meet the drinking bird – a cool toy trying to be a perpetual motion champion. When you soak his head, it starts this awesome bobbing dance. But, shh, don't tell anyone—it's not the real deal because it's secretly relying on water magic. Real perpetual motion is like a unicorn; it sounds cool but can't really happen because of physics rules. Still, the drinking bird is our superhero-in-training, showing us how simple tricks can make things move in a fun way without breaking any science rules!

Soothing and Very Interesting To Watch The Drinking Bird

Watching the drinking bird is like enjoying a simple, repetitive dance. The bird's smooth and predictable moves can be strangely calming, providing a break from the everyday hustle. It's like a visual chill pill that your brain finds oddly relaxing. Very cool to watch the red liquid as it moves up and down forcing the bird to bob his head.

CAPTIVATING: This original retro novelty toy is a captivating science marvel, endlessly intriguing to watch in perpetual motion. Its favorite activity? Dunking its head and staying wet all day!

How To Set Up The Drinking Bird

First and Foremost be sure to soak his head.....and remember to try and keep the glass full of water so he can keep his beak wet!

Connect the bird by placing the metal bar on its neck into the leg holes. Grab a small glass of water smaller than the legs. Position the bird in front of the glass, dip and soak its head in the water, and adjust its height for a bobbing motion. Observe the bird drinking continuously, ensuring a temperature of 25°C/76°F for optimal performance.

Now sit back and watch the MAGIC happen!

This drinking bird has created a lot of fun for everyone. I’ve given it to. Originally purchased one pack of three, then purchased another pack of three. Everyone gets a kick out of them and tries to figure out how it works.

Bird is hard to get working properly, started off good in the beginning but over time hasn't been working as well.

Très content j’ai reçus un rouge un bleu et un vert et ils fonctionnes très bien, contrairement à celui que j’ai acheté a un autre vendeur qui ne fonctionne que près d’une source de chaleur

This sophisticated bird (he is wearing a top hat after all) was a gift for our 4 year old who saw one like him and asked about it incessantly. It is what he wanted for his birthday. This drinking bird is sitting in our kitchen window and each of us spend some time each day watching him dip his felted beak into a refreshing glass of water and then sailing back up into the air only to do it again...and again...and again. He is always so thirsty! Unless of course, the temperature drops and then he must rest, without drinking. When the sun comes up again and it warms the window, Mr. Bird must be dunked top hat first into his glass of water and his head fully saturated to remind him of how much he enjoys his drinking activity, then he's back at it for the whole day! Very interesting fellow. This is definately not a child's "toy" to be played with. However, our child was so excited to receive it and enjoys watching the drinking bird and his drinking shenanigans. We are only using one bird but are happy to have a back up bird and another for a gift. The bird is made of glass and appears to be fragile so having a back up is a good idea.

It's nice to relive your childhood when your 73 years old. These Magic Drinking Birds sure help to do that for me. For someone, who as a child would stare at the same kind of toy and wonder how they work, these birds still have the magic to amaze me today. I bought the 3 pack because I thought I would keep one, and give the other two to my grandchildren. However, instead I decided to triple my fun, watching all 3 drink together, and keep these all for myself. I do intend, however, to buy others for them. They are a lot of fun for the money.These birds arrived in perfect condition, each wrapped in bubble wrap. All of my birds worked as soon as they were set up. (Just remember to saturate the entire head and not just the beak with water to get each started.) If the bird isn't drinking as often or as fast as you want, you might also want to carefully slide the glass tube (the neck of the bird) upward within the metal collar, a tiny bit at a time, until it works the way you want.My only minor disappointment might be that the three birds in the pack were all the same color, red. (I suppose it is just a matter of chance which color bird you will get, since no particular color or mix of colors is promised; so I can't deduct any stars for this.)

I had one of these 40 years ago for our one year old son. It amused not only him but me and my wife as well. So this bird was a trip down memory lane.To get him to drink, be sure to hold his beak in the water so his head is completely soaked. After a little while, the vacuum effect will start and draw the red liquid up into his head and tilt it into the cup of water.Two things you might want to do:1) use a paper or plastic cup to avoid the clinking sound when he drinks and the glass bulb at the base bangs into the glass.2) weigh down the base, as he moves around due to the light weight of the bird. I put a couple of half dollars on the base and it minimized his movement.It's an amusing novelty and sure to make everyone smile.
