  • Drinking Birds

    Anyone have a Drinking Bird? You wet the beak, and then it would start rocking until the beak dipped into the water again, paused, then started rocking again. There's a thermodynamic explanation, but as a kid I just thought it was a fun novelty. Also known as a Dunking Bird.

    The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir.

    I Remember them.

    Like so many things at the time they were a bit naff, but great fun.

    Another thing was those metal ball things where about six balls were suspended in a cradle and you lifted and let go of one and it made the one at the other end swing.
