This is a large two bird model, with a large red bird on the center perch and a grayish green bird on the deck. The movement is a combination of wood/brass/steel and the heads of both birds turn, tail feathers flutter, and beaks move to each twitter. The bellows are leaking a bit and these birds are not singing to full volume (but they do sing). Also the birds need some feather restoration here and there; the cage and base are excellent. A hard to find item that is nice enough to be enjoyed as is. Height 22Ó $2,000-$2,500
