Review: A Favorite Toy of Mine as a Kid, Seemingly Totally Unchanged Over a Decade Later - 15 years ago or so, I had one of these as a kid. I was recently birthday shopping for a nephew of mine, and wondered if they still made these. To my surprise, not only are ornithopters still made, but this seems 100% identical to the one I had as a kid, even down to the packaging. I guess if it isn't broke, don't fix it. After spending an afternoon flying it around, our little bird made several crash landings, and was totally fine. My only complaint is the tail seems a bit flimsy, particularly in the hinge where you angle it. Overall I think most any kid will have a fun time playing with this thing, and its much cheaper than a drone or RC plane.
Review: An elegant but simple toy of flight. - This is a most surprising product that seems sturdier than it looks. This was another gift for my 7 year old grandson. With alot of cranks on the propulsion rubber band and a little wind blowing to assist the aerodynamic properties, this bird actually flies on its own when launched from the hand. It is somewhat realistic flight, especially when it lands in a tree.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the name for a large group of these?  Ie.  flight, flock, siege, muster, murder, murmutation?**
A: I’m going to go with a pandemonium.  That’s apparently the name for a group of parrots and it sounds impressive.

**Q: Has anyone tried this indoors? I want to use it as a cat toy.**
A: It needs more space than a room really allows and flies in a very unpredictably path. It also makes a good deal of noise flapping its wings. Even the miniature version, Timmy Bird, probably flies too far for indoor use. Maybe you should try an indoor boomerang, instead, although I think a cat could easily take one of those apart.

**Q: Where do I get replacement rubber bands for it?**
A: Any local hobby store that sells balsa airplane kits or search for “balsa flying airplane kits” online.  There are an amazing number of dealers and they all sell rubber “motors” in various widths.  Valuable expert tip:  lubricate the rubber lightly with a silicone like armor all.  The motor will last much longer without breaking.

**Q: How hard is it to convert the tim bird to an rc ornithopter?**
A: IMO - It would be Impossible for several reasons:
- The tail is friction fitted (you set before flight) so you would never be able to get a servo to properly make adjustments during flight to steer.
- The body is basically a thin, plastic tube and I doubt it would survive the torque of the engine when driving gears
- There is not a way to build in flaps or independently control the wing angles in this design.

### ⭐ Worth 5 Cents, Not $23
*by M***T on December 18, 2025*

Broke on the third attempt to get it to fly instead of diving straight into the floor. After third, little piece that kept the wings from flapping while winding broke off inside. After 50 years, instead of this company learning how to make a better product, they've just made it cheaper and incredibly fragile. Not for kids, cats, dogs, teens or adults. No one should buy this over-priced made in China piece of plastic garbage.
