Does anyone know where I can get one of those mercury bobbing birds that they used to make years ago?
When I was a kid, my parents had a clear plastic bird that has mercury in it’s bulb-like tail. As the day when on, the mercury would rise in the tube that went up the bird’s body and it would tilt forward, making the bird appear to be leaning over to drink. That was in the 1970′s. Does anyone remember those or know where I can get one?
They don’t make them out of mercury anymore, but here you go.
