The figure is in good condition. There are small losses of paint on the front of the leg and corners of the ascot. The door covering the movement has a different finish than the figure so may be a replacement. The base of the figure and movement are signed with the Griesbaum bird trademark. The movement runs when triggered, the head turning and the bellows pumping. The bellows will need to be restored. The small novelty clock movement also runs when wound.
