DescriptionA solid wooden bird with flat neck and head and cat-like tail is flanked by two small simply shaped birds. The three are attached to a round wooden base. The base is the top of the leather bellows and the bottom is made up of another circular wooden piece with a hole in the center. The lower disk rests on three splayed feet. When the base is pressed, the toy squeaks.
