poor bird....GREAT MOC!

nice one, it's tough to get a top that looks good with so few parts, but yours looks great!

I remember having something like this on my desk at one time. As I recall, it didn't have an axle through, it had one of those round 2x2 reverse convex tiles on the bottom. Don't know if I'd consider it a true top, but I'd spin it around. This Lego is fun stuff, isn't it?

""Glorified Soda Can?!?!"...wow( WITH LOTS OF SARCASM!!!)... ...

Nice! A parrot.....or an owl...That top looks like it spins for days!

Good front-picture!!

Thanks! Unfortunately, I do not have a parrot... I tried a toad, but if flew out of there! XD Looking forward to see your design!

Simple yet effective! You shoulda shoved a parrot in there hahaha! Man, I've been racking my brain for the last couple of weeks trying to come up with a top for Yuri's contest. If I don't hurry, the contest will be over! I've got a few ideas but balancing issues are what's holding mine back... oh well, nice work on this one! ~ Chris.

cool spin model!!

Awesome design. High centre of gravity though results in the small spin time, had the same problem with mah light house. Still, an awesome top!

Simply built, but awesome! AND it spins!

Maybe around 10 seconds on good spins. XD

Nice idea. I'm glad you decided to enter :)

Very nice photos. How long does it spin - on average?

Very creative, and cool!
