Wind-Up Mechanism ~ Motion & Chirping

Singing Bird In Cage

Bellows ~ Whistles & Cranks Mechanism

This exquisite bird in a cage stands 7 inches tall. The cage is all wood. The real feathered bird is mechanical and moves about on his perch as he sings and chirps. Not electronic. Ingenious wind-up mechanism with bellows, whistles and cranks to make him move and chirp. The bird is connected with small wire linkage to the bellows & whistle mechanism that causes the tail and head to toggle with the tweet. He rocks back and forth on his perch with a synchronous animation that accompanies the sound of the chirping. Similar to a cuckoo clock or the original 1800’s singing bird in cage mechanism.

The all wood cage features a door that slides open. Even the bars of the cage are wood! The highly detailed bird has realistic features and real feathers. When he is moving about and singing his song, he looks authentic. Quality constructed, not a toy. This singing bird in cage will bring hours of enjoyment. The brass versions sell for hundreds of dollars. If you enjoy classic mechanical movements, this one is for you. Sits on a desk or can hang from a hook.
