Features
- Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch it, not fondle it!!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

User Reviews for DRINKING BIRD
This is as ugly as any other drinking bird I\'ve seen so far, but once you get past that, it\'s handy for explaining pressure and condensation.
Durability really doesn\'t apply here, as it\'s not a toy for children.
This bird does not stop drinking. I recommended he talk to someone about his problem, but all I got was the glazed over look in his eyes. With his goofy hat and tacky tail feather, he finds his way to any available drink and dips his head right in, regardless of who he\'s hurting in the process.
The Drinking Bird is made of glass....glad we got two as my 11-year old dropped and shattered Bird #1!! After adjusting properly, the bird drank continuously for HOURS until I physically stopped it....
What worked??
1. Used a glass 4\" tall..filled to the brim with water
2. Soaked the Bird\'s Head completely with water
3. Adjusted the metal collar height (gently as glass is fragile!)
4. Most importantly....I slightly bent the metal \"wings\" (that rest on the plastic \"legs\") on the metal collar (gently) to position the bird\'s distance from the glass (plastic \"feet\"/base keeps it a minimum distance from the glass of water.
Once he starts drinking, it keeps on going!!
This is a great novelty toys and works very well. People ask me where I got it because they want one. All you can do is watch it but it is still a fun toy to have for the cheap price.
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)
