I have never seen a "Drinking Bird" this old before. Looks like he had way too many drinks over the years! The feathers that once adorned his head are now nothing but sprigs.
Perhaps a Tico "Bobble Bird?" The inventor, Miles Sullivan, was involved with Tico Industries and that these are, indeed, the original drinking birds
It is also known as the dunking bird, happy bird, the dippy bird, the happy dippy bird, and other variations on this same theme. It looks like a bird and will bob up and down as it appears to drink out of a glass of water. As long as it can reach the water, it will bob up and down indefinitely.
Wow, he is terrific!!!
Too much tequila I think! Still a particularly handsome and charming fella however!
