He's the one that requested the bird... pretty sure it's frowned upon to answer your own call out.

Yep. Can't fulfill your own request.

I see that happening more and more - people asking for what they have themselves.

Dudes, if it's that off the wall, all it's gonna do is make us all wait 24 hours.

Not to crap on anyone, but some of this stuff - ???

I try to choose things that are obscure but common.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_bird

Drinking birds, also known as insatiable birdies or dipping birds,[1][2][3] are toy heat engines that mimic the motions of a bird drinking from a water source. They are sometimes incorrectly considered examples of a perpetual motion device.


A drinking bird consists of two glass bulbs joined by a glass tube (the bird's neck). The tube extends nearly all the way into the bottom bulb, and attaches to the top bulb but does not extend into it. The space inside the bird contains a fluid, usually colored. The fluid is typically dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride. Earlier versions contained trichlorofluoromethane. Miles V. Sullivan 1945 patent suggested ether, alcohol, carbon tetrachloride or chloroform.[4]

Air is removed from the apparatus during manufacture, so the space inside the body is filled by vapor evaporated from the fluid.[4] The upper bulb has a "beak" attached which, along with the head, is covered in a felt-like material.[4] The bird is typically decorated with paper eyes, a plastic top hat, and one or more tail feathers. The whole setup pivots on an adjustable crosspiece attached to the neck.

Despite the drinking bird's appearance and classification as a toy, some safety considerations additional to the potential danger of thin shards of glass apply should the bulb break. Early models were often filled with highly flammable substances, though the fluid in later versions is nonflammable. Dichloromethane can irritate the skin on contact and the lungs if inhaled. It may be dangerous to people with pre-existing heart, liver, or nervous system conditions and is a suspected carcinogen.
 
my chickens are dippy, they are birds, and in the picture they are drinking.

if they count, lets see a knife and an oil lamp

I haven't seen one of those drinking birds in FOREVER.
I think my grandfather has one.....
He's still alive and well, but it has to be so buried in his attic or something that it would be rude to even ask. :o
 


Knife and "Jenga". I'm sure somebody out there plays and has a set of blocks.

Break em out, have some fun with your family, and snap a pic. :thumbup:

Ohio getting some good rain.
California is under a state of emergency because so many cities/counties, are not prepared for these amounts.

These are big ones and not good for our recent burn areas.
