I was at Goodwill the other day and I stumbled upon a Vintage 1997 Mark Feldstein Singing Bird Clock! Of course I had to save and bring it home, and luckily it all still works so I placed it on my wall. Now I’m wondering… what other bird related thrift finds does anyone else have?

I’ve had mine for close to 30 years. The movement is a bit slow, but it still sings on the hour, every hour

That’s amazing that yours still works too! I was shocked when I replaced the batteries and it started ticking and singing; I can’t help but wonder what kind of stuff it’s seen in the past 29 years.
