It flaps it's wings for about 5 sec every 10 minutes in bright sunligt ( it is solarpowered )
The controling device is a standart BEAM 1381 solar engine.

I love it. I have added the video to your creation - in the future, you can use [youtube] tags, like:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qb_0a2UXKw[/youtube] in your creation, and the video will be automatically embedded.

Beautiful work. The actual mechanics of the wings flapping compliments the sculpture very nicely, and I like how the solar panels were incorperated into it.
