Mini Dipping Bird with Mini Champagne Cup by C&H®

The fluid inside the bird condenses due to evaporation cooling from the water on its beak, causing it to become top heavy and dunk back into the water. The condensate then returns to the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, causing it to tip up once again. This is a great science lesson on evaporation and condensation. To demonstrate, simply place a glass of cold water in front of the bird, dip its head in the water, and release. The Drinking Bird will continue to bob back and forth while "drinking" for hours. However, it is important to note that the fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain and its glass body can easily break, so children should be careful when handling it.

The Drinking Bird is fascinating for children and offers great educational opportunities, but it should be observed rather than played with. The Amazing Mini Drinking Bird is fun to watch and play with, making it a great gift for friends and family. It comes with a very mini drinking bird and a small plastic cup, and will continue to dip into the water until it can no longer do so. It is recommended for ages 8 and older.
