A contempary singing bird box by Reuge of Switzerland. No. 2762
Going barrel movement.
When wound and the start/stop button pushed gently, the lid opens with magnificent slow-sweep motion to reveal the perfectly proportioned bird magically rising through the seamless pierced gold grille, with opening and closing polished metal beak, flapping wings, bobbing tailfeather and moving whole body from side-to-side to continuous synchronised birdsong, finishing with the bird disappearing below grille and the slow-sweep lid completing the performance.
The bird with almost full-spectrum colour feathered plumage in light blue, midnight blue, speckled red, salmon pink and brown, highlighted with superb banding of iridescent flashes to wings, tailfeather and bib in tones of green, red and yellow.

The birdsong is long-lasting, playing the phases of the birdsong with purpose and sustaining important notes to afford the listener further enjoyment.
