Little flying birds (or boats etc.) for military or entertainment use. An outside trigger releases the springs which operate successively to flap the wings.

Legs:

The shell M is provided with the elastic or spring legs N, the upper convolution of the spring being inserted in the interior of the lower part of the bird or casing, the convolutions being decreased in size, as shown, as they approach the feet, the lower part of the springs being formed into horizontal bows, loops, or feet y, as shown; [...] but when employed from many purposes the feet and legs may be dispensed with, especially such military or naval purposes as conveying explosives.
