put the bird at the top of the coil, give its head a tap and it walks. hop by hop, all the way to the bottom, pecking the whole way.
it doesn't walk on its own — skip the tap and it just drops. that's the part people miss, right before they write a review about a bird that "just fell."
heads up: no batteries, no motor, nothing electric. it's a wire track and gravity. one tap starts it, every time.
material — solid wood (base, pole, bird body), wire coil, dyed feather tuft size — bird 1.8 in / 4.5 cm · pole 16.1 in / 41 cm · base 2.2 in / 5.5 cm across weight — 1.7 oz / 49 g colors — randomly colored (body and feather color ship random, no requests) for — hands that need something to do, desks that could use one more strange thing on them heads up — needs a tap to start walking, not a shove; it's a desk toy, not a dog toy, not for kids to mouth
no instructions included. it already knows how to fall. you just have to give it a reason.
