I've become a huge fan of these old wooden Czech "ramp walkers," which I've also seen referred to as "Shuffling Charlies,"--really how not to love them? Set them on a plane at a slight incline and they will indeed shuffle down it, though with such personality I think they're equally great just standing still. This one, with yellow beak and red wings, I am pretty sure is meant to be a parrot--fairly rare from what I've seen--and its green body is the perfect shade for it. Best of all are those red and white target-like eyes!

I believe he dates to the 1930s or so and is in very good condition, with some wear around the wings and some scuffs her and there. 4 1/8" tall x 1 3/4" w x 1 7/8" d.
