Lutèce Créations (www.automates-boites-musique.com), the european specialist in music boxes and automatons (or automata), offers through its Parisian shop and its websites, various old automatons (from the end of the 19th century century until the First World War) and vintage automata (from the 1950s) as well as mechanical music instruments including old or modern music boxes.
In this tutorial video "How does a drinking bird automaton work?", Bill Hammack, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Illinois, will explain to you the mechanism of this automaton.
Bill reveals the operation and engineering design underlying the famous drinking bird toy automaton. In this video he explores the role played by the water the bird "drinks," shows what is under the bird's hat and demonstrates that it can operate using heat from a light bulb or by "drinking" whiskey.
