STRANGE LITTLE BIRD- Head comes off????

By Lizbot, 28 April, 2010
Description

The little bird, which I presume is a peacock, is about 3 inches tall. Once the head comes off, the head turns into a pin, or dagger, or could be used to pierce something?? The tail also flips up and down. I have NO IDEA what it is for!! The head is a slightly worn from being "used" so many times. I am including some pictures. Can you please tell me what the little bird does?
