Description
This bird kite spreads its wings in bold red, sky blue and white, with three long ribbon tails in red, blue and yellow streaming out behind. The body is a soft blue printed with pale spots, the head is white with a small red beak, and each wing fans out in rows of red and blue feathers edged in scalloped white, so it reads clearly as a bird even high overhead. Fully opened, it measures about 125cm across the wings and 66cm long, not counting the tails; with the tails out, it runs to 265cm from beak to ribbon end.
It is made for open spaces with a steady breeze: a park, a playing field, a beach or a hilltop on a bright weekend. With wings that wide and tails that long, it makes a lively sight against a blue sky and stands out among other kites. It is a toy for outdoor play and a good reason to head outside for an afternoon, whether you are flying it yourself or taking turns on the line. We think it suits anyone who loves a day in the fresh air and a splash of colour on the horizon.
The sail is fabric, with plastic parts, and it comes with a red plastic winder wound with white flying line, so it is ready to fly. It is light to carry and folds down into a slim red sleeve for the trip to the park and for storing between flights. After a flight, brush off any grass or sand, wipe the fabric with a damp cloth if it needs it and let it dry fully before packing it away. Kept in its sleeve somewhere dry, it will be ready for the next windy day. As a present, it is one that gets people outdoors: hand it over with the forecast for a breezy weekend.
