Abstract
A glove puppet figure has wings capable of simulating flapping movement while producing an audible sound, and driven by a mechanism that is uncomplicated and yet effective. The figure may have a head component that can be moved, by manipulation of the operator's finger, relative to a body which is held substantially immobile on the operator's hand, and the glove empolyed is not only functional but also contributes to aesthetic appeal. The wings are removably mounted to the body by flexible coupling members. The wings are fabricated from a synthetic resinous laminate and provides an iridescence to the wings.
