This mechanical flying bird from France features a plastic construction with functional flapping wings. Measuring 8 inches in length with a 16-inch wingspan, the toy requires simple assembly by snapping the wings into place. The rubber band-powered mechanism propels the bird up to 50 yards when gently launched, producing a distinct fluttering sound during flight. Each package includes a spare rubber band drive mechanism for replacement. The wind-up design allows for repeated flights after each reset.
Things to Keep in MindA primary concern is the toy's lack of durability, with frequent reports of wings breaking, parts detaching, or the mechanism failing, often after very limited use or a few flights, leading to disappointment over its short lifespan and perceived value. Why You'll Like ItThe toy is widely noted for being fun and engaging for children, often flying well and evoking a sense of nostalgia for adults who remember similar toys.
