Easy to set up and get working. I recommend fastening it down with double-stick tape if you have cats. - Sunday, January 25, 2009perfect Reviewed By: jennie (brooklyn, new york) i love this i'm suley going to get an A on my project with this - Saturday, October 17, 2009A Lost Skill Reviewed By: Theodore (Arvada, CO) I'm in my seventies and these novelty items have been around since I was a child. I recently bought two for my grandsons. Neither worked for any length of time. As a child I observed store windows full of these birds, all working. The two I purchased would cease working after only a short time, i.e, hours. My guess, (only a guess and I would love to have the failure explained to me) is that the nap is too heavy and causes water to run down to the bulb of the bird and destroy the delicate balance necessary for the birds to continue working. If you buy these, be prepared to be disappointed. - Friday, October 19, 2007great curiosity builder Reviewed By: Gloria (Derry, NH) Students are perplexed by this and many study it wanting to know the reason it works! I had one 7th grade student tell me he would like awake at night trying to figure it out. It is by far one of the favorite items on my "figure it out" science table. - Wednesday, October 08, 2008awsome Reviewed By: jun kang (co. springs, colorado) I bought these for my sons birthday and he loved them. They don't stop and work wonderfully. I highly recommend them. |
