Additional Details

Kids are always amazed when they see this bird balance on anything - a finger, even a nose!

But it doesn't defy gravity - it takes advantage of it. Thanks to two well-placed weights at the end of its wings, its center of mass is located below the tip of its beak, creating a stable equilibrium.
