This pair of scissors is shaped like a bird and makes a "caw" sound when you cut with it when the power is on. You can choose from two different "caw" sounds by switching a button. If you turn the power off, you can use it as a regular, quiet pair of scissors without the sound. The beak part serves as a blade cover, making it safe and easy to carry around. It stands up when you extend the legs. Rough measurements are 14cm x 7cm x 3.5cm (measured at the longest parts, but there may be slight variations depending on the location). It requires button batteries. The "caw" sound worked fine until the batteries died, and it has been left as is since then. There are no noticeable stains or rust, and the scissors cut well. However, please be aware that it has been stored at home for a long time.
