adequate. not as sturdy as other versions
I have three different types of balance birds and these are the least sturdy. The wings splice if you drop the bird (which is all too probable in a child's yoga class where we use them to work on balance and awareness and focus) and the beaks are pretty fragile. If you're going to keep these on the mount on your desk, they are perfectly fine, but if you plan to integrate them into a moment with children, they might not stand up to the burden. I won't be buying them again for the needs I have.
