Signed "Tom Harvey 01," the figure of a woman with bird on a string moves on platform when crank is turned on box inscribed, "I knew a girl who found a baby robin that had an injured leg. She took him in and tended to him for weeks. When the robin was well enough, and assured he would not fly away before he was ready she tied a string around his good leg and gently "flew" him around her yard. When she was certain he was able she set him free."
