Bitter Black and Red China singing bird boxes… avant-garde creations in a departure from the conventional - the singing bird mechanism is placed inside a slightly mysterious object, secret, strange and smooth, with no apparent openings. This resolutely modern singing bird box is made of high quality aluminium, coated in black or a red that imitates Chinese red. In the black version, the bird’s feathers are red; in the red box, they're black.
