What is the Drinking Bird and how does it work?

The Drinking Bird is a classic toy that demonstrates thermodynamics. It tips over and appears to drink from a cup when its head is moistened with water. The evaporation cools the head, creating a pressure difference that causes the liquid inside to rise and the bird to dunk again.

What age is the Drinking Bird suitable for?

The Drinking Bird is recommended for ages 8 and up. It's a fun and educational toy that can spark curiosity about science and physics.

How do I set up the Drinking Bird for use?

To set up the Drinking Bird, simply fill a cup with water and moisten the bird's head. Place the bird in front of the cup, and watch as it begins to tip and drink by itself.

What materials is the Drinking Bird made from?

The Drinking Bird is typically made from glass and plastic, designed to be durable while providing a fascinating visual demonstration of physical principles.

Can the Drinking Bird be used as a teaching tool?

Yes, the Drinking Bird is an excellent educational tool for teaching concepts related to thermodynamics and the principles of heat transfer. It's a great addition to science classrooms or home learning environments.

Description

Drinking Bird Almost everyone remembers this hard to find toy with at least a twinge of nostalgia. Now, the Drinking Bird is back, disguised as a great demonstration of thermo dynamics. When the head of the bird is moistened with water it will repeatedly tip over and appear to be drinking from a cup placed in front of it. The dunking is due to the evaporating water, which cools the head reducing the pressure of the gas inside. The liquid inside the bird rises up from his tail towards his head, causing the bird to tip and appear to be drinking. As the bird dunks, the liquid returns to its tail, and the process begins again. In essence this is a small , cleverly designed thermodynamic engine which only needs water to runn! Size: 7 inches Age 8+
