About the Item

Griesbaum singing Bird Box A stunning bird box in a uniquely painted case, showcasing fine craftsmanship and elegance. The mechanism is wound from the bottom, and with a simple slide of the front lever to the right, the lid gracefully opens, revealing a charming little bird. It comes to life, singing a delightful tune while moving left to right, fluttering its wings, and opening its beak. Once the melody ends, the bird elegantly disappears into its hidden compartment. A beautiful and valuable piece, perfect for any collection!
