  • STUDY: It looks like to wind up your songbird you must TURN the key in its back, then PULL the key out.
You can also PUSH, RUB, and OPEN a bronze mechanical songbird with real tail feathers. You are also certain that you could hurt its feelings by mocking it.
A bronze mechanical songbird with real tail feathers also looks somewhat delicate, and you may want to LOWER it if you want to set it down.
  • TURN: You wind up your songbird. You meet very little resistance as you turn the key.
  • TURN: You wind up your songbird. You meet a slight amount of resistance as you turn the key.
  • TURN: You wind up your songbird. The toy puts up a fair amount of resistance as you turn the key. You believe you can only wind the toy up a little bit more.
  • TURN: You wind up your songbird. A click indicates you have wound up the mechanical songbird as much as you can.
  • PULL: You pull the key out of your mechanical songbird as you gently set it on the ground.
With a quiet whirr, the songbird launches furiously into a series of rapid hops, while frantically flapping its wings. After several seconds, it leaps six feet into the air and hovers there bobbing slightly with each wing flap. It gently flutters back to to the ground and hops a few more times before finally coming to a stop.
You scoop the mechanical songbird back up and reinsert the key into the wind-up slot.
  • PUSH: You poke at the mechanical songbird, causing it to hop slowly and deliberately in place.
  • RUB: You rub your songbird in an attempt to polish it. It looks better.
  • OPEN: You pull up on some of the outside skin of your songbird and peer under it. You are rewarded with a view of a mess of gears and fine clockwork.
  • MOCK: You squint at a bronze mechanical songbird with real tail feathers and exclaim, "I can't think of anything mean to say to you, but rest assured, you deserve it!" The mechanical songbird remains silent, properly shamed.
  • LOWER: You gently lower your mechanical songbird to the ground.
