During ww2 my grandfather ran across one and was fascinated and the rest of the time he was in the uk, Germany and France he would go to every toy shop and ask everyone if they knew of anyone who had one they wanted to sell and he would buy and send home to the u s, so I still have them and I have 64 that works and several that were damaged during shipping in the 1940,s. It's a shame we can't post pictures on RUclips anymore because I have some that are awesome and unbelievable, he continued to collect until 1982 when he passed away, i have one that's the size of a piano and it plays the songs of 8 different birds singing with them moving on top , most of the ones I have i have never seen another like
These two look so happy. Like no troubles in the world could possibly affect their world. They are having so much fun too. A pair of hearts united by their passion. Thank you for sharing.
I have been fascinated with automata for ages and I was SO happy to see this show and tell. I never knew about training the canaries! I have 2 macaws so I am extremely fascinated by all of the bird automata. I love the singing boxes! I'm never ever jealous of anyone's possessions, however I found myself feeling very envious of your collection! Thank you so much for the tour. I'm incredibly grateful!
as a child looking at automata is 1000x more fascinating to look at than anything on a screen
I am so delighted by these beautiful little bird automatons. The amount of love and engineering poured into these sweet little creations is just incredible.
I found you through tiktok. I need these kind of analog wonders to calm me down and to realize you don't need digital al the way. A proper engineered analog front end base is the solution and use digital to fine tune. These days we try to digitize everything. Even when it's proven some things are better left being handled the analog way. Thank you for this!
i loved these shows
Absolutely gorgeous peacock! 💚🦚 And the singing birds are lovely!
You two are brilliant. Very fun to watch, and very valuable info! I stumbled across your channel while looking for info on an automation singing bird in cage, that perches atop a table in the Parlor of the 1868 Victorian Mansion that I help look after. The poor dear had had a rough life, but still captivating. I wish I could bring it to you for some love, but I am over in the US. :(
Salutations from Mexico! I love your videos
Wow!! Love this! Such wonderful examples & I admire your incredible skills🥰
Such magical people! Nobody ever said before - We wish you goodbye 💙 thank you
17:55 the micro ones are absolutely precious!
Never heard anyone say that birds aren't animals before, btw.
You two seem wonderful! I love all your automata :)
LOVED this! I am a bit mad for Atomata to will run to your website in a min. Most enjoy non animal/bird atomata so can’t wait to see you next videos which, btw, gave me more than few chuckles. And thanks so much for the details of the makers of the micro automata, they were lovely too.
so very enjoyable! Thanks from Tasmania
Wow. Fantastic collection.
I so love these and always have❣️
That tiny gold box from 1810...oh, my if only I were a queen!
wonderful and informative video
Ooooooo
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE GERMAN BIRDIE IN THE SILVER BOX
I SO WANT ONE
How Wonderful!
😍This whole video is entertainment well done. I learn best from complete madness with intention. What a heart warming production.😘
Amazing!!
Such a cute cupple ..i want that peacock
06:20 Haha! Now I realise why you wanted to be thd camera person for this one; so that a bird could anwer the calls. :D
You're lovely! Thanks!
I've seen a few bird feather art pictures for sale online and they might be a cheaper source for your feathers. They're from South America from around the 50's.
Thank you so much for making this in one long video, it's much better than breaking it up into several. Do you make or have you made automata of your own or just restorations. I think they are incredible. Maria, have a drink on me.
Realmente maravilloso! 💓 Gracias!
Great fun! Nice to see a Nightingale box.
Holy cow that 210 yr old little one was incredible! at 16:36
These are fantastic! Only just started learning about these!
Oh, and Maria is pretty hot!
Loving the banter guys. From Bath new Sub.
Adoro ver as novidades, e os pequenos automatas
impressive... incredible talent Skill
Well I love those two
Dragon is in its own family but it is a cousin to the bird! Ergo bird!
Wow I love your vids new sub here 🔥😍
I speak to a birdie in the evening... He mimics me and other surrounding sounds!
Mon souhait c'est de travailler, comme apprenti, dans cet atelier. J'adore tout ce qui est automate, horloger et boite à musique.
Adore the Peacock as well
Still have that stupid duck song stuck in my head
15:52 - the way that key is ratcheted so you can't screw up and wind incorrectly is really cool. I wonder why more artists/makers didn't do that?
Todo se ve muy colorido y vivo! (~^^)~♡
Never mind Vaucanson's duck: I'd like to see his flute player, or his pipe and tabor player...
very nice!! greetings from brazil o/
Between things like this bird & the demand for exotic feathers for women's clothes & hats, bird populations were nearly made extinct at the turn of the century & the practice was finally banned.
These are fantastic examples of automata though.
A bird is an animal.
Me encanta la verdad
michael you have a beautiful collection and workshop ,ive always been interested in all forms of automata especially the bird boxes of carl griesbaum and flajoulot, charles bruguier beautifully made .i would love to be able to make my own automata of some kind. do you do tours of the museum . after the lockdown ? do you sell blue prints of the birdboxes on how they are made? as its nigh on impossible to find anything about the workings how the bellows are made do they have a variable pitch to the whistle what size oh i could ramble on for hours so any info would be greatly appreciated all the very best philip in co durham ...
Estoy maravillado por las composteras que realizan yo poseo 2 maquinarias uno de caja cuadrada de latón y otra que los fuelles son redondos . ... !
Quickly checking my calendar to make sure that I'm in 2021.
what a beautiful working atmosphere lol . if it wasn't so expensive you could get some from the fly fishing boys who tie fishing flies with them . I love your work . I love this stuff ,..........lol you could put together a automatum BBQ with some of the reject stuffed birds on it ....LOL Cheers Guys
amazing
Sweetheart I hate to tell you this but birds are considered part of the animal kingdom. Therefore they are technically animals. And technically so are humans. We're a type of animal. But seriously birds are animals.
04:22 How do you spell that? Serenate? I love birds and collecting strange facts about them. Your video is perfect for this. It's so nice to see you both so happy and fascinated. A really special video. Thank you :)
Is it even possible to even find these amazing items anymore?
Well automata is pretty interesting it's made around in the industrial area or age
Dragons are a type of lizard.
Dragons are like dinosaurs they are extinct 😂😊
Dragons are reptiles. Not birds nor mammals.
Curious if the bird actually matches the song that bird makes? Would be nice to know the value of these singing birds, unrestored vs working. Are you restoring these for collectors/museums, or do you own any of them? Loved the small, gilded box and all the caged ones.
Super ❣️💓💓😘😘😘
I saw a bird in a cage on an auction won for $55, (perhaps a cheaper model of a knock-off?) but it ran off a battery.
AS I SIT HERE ON MY FRONT PORCH listening to yours,... my little birdie friend is responding, as he had been eavesdropping on this video
Ha
Wish you would get a closer shot of the details
Magnificent ! If you want, send me a digital copy of the document in French, I will do a translation ...
💕
Where are you please?
Please please consider microphones - very hard to hear you and that's super disappointing. Your knowledge is amazing. Would love to be able to hear it.
Birds are animals.
Os autômatos são uma característica do IMPÉRIO DE TÁRTARIA.
🌹💖
My kind of Lady...
T.T I went to see if I could get a copy of Flights of Fancy and it's nearly a grand now (on amazon, any who). Keep those two copies safe!
Wow. A physical copy? Can you get it digitally for less?
You sound so much like Neil gaimon
⚘️💖
You sound like Mark Steyn.
Poo is life.
It's too bad that the peacock one the feathers don't flour out more like an actual peacocks would.
Bird or mammal? Did you forget reptiles exist?
Those books are EXPENSIVE!!!! Ouch!
I want to see the duck that poos
Dragon = reptile hehe
00000 something new 😁
dragons are reptiles
☆☆☆☆☆
a dragon is definitely NOT a mammal LOL
-LAME!
