Subject: Whirly bird
Does anyone remember a yard toy called Whirly Bird or Twirly bird or something like that?
We had one as kids and Sue would like to find one for her kids. It held four kids, was made of medal and each kid had hand feet bars which we pumped to make the thing go fast.
Jog anyone's memory?
Anybody remember who made it?
Thanks,
Sherry & Sue

Yeah, I remember it, I think it was isn't made anymore because it was dangerous. A neighbor kid had one and her lil sister sat in the middle and got a finger ripped off when it got caught in it.

most great outdoor toys ended up 'too dangerous'. Remember Yard Jarts? Nice heavy pointy metal pieces with aerodynamic tails that families threw high up in the air towards eachother. Some irresponsible idiots get one in a foot, head, whatever, and they get outlawed. GEESH! >;-P
