Balancing Birds

This balancing bird demonstrates the science of gravity and weight distribution in a way that captivates.

The bird’s centre of gravity – also called the centre of mass – is located at the tip of its beak. This is the point at which the mass of the body is perfectly balanced. Just as you can hold a pencil using one finger if you find its centre of gravity, so the balancing bird will balance on its beak. Try balancing this intruiging bird on almost anything you can think of: a tip of a pen, a finger, a phone. Give it a spin and watch in amazement as it still stays balanced.

The balancing bird offers an engaging way to teach the scientific concepts of gravity, weight distribution and balance.
