A few years back on one of our trips to Santa Fe, Grandma went rummaging through her craft room for things the kiddos might enjoy. Low and behold she stumbled upon this, a singing, dancing ostrich! It seemed a bit ancient, definitely advanced in years, but in attempt to reach her goal of finding 'entertainment' for the kids, Grandma went to the store for batteries. As we put the batteries in place and pressed the button something magical, unexpected, and yes, slightly annoying, started happening. The bird started to kick its feet, bounce around and whistle a (fairly loud) tune! To the kids delight this thing is still left out on the shelf, waiting for visitors from Wichita so that everytime we visit it may again prance around, singing and entertaining (or irritating) everyone in the room!
