Did you know that bird watching is a stress-relief activity? Well, now you can partake in this relaxing pastime from the comfort of your home with the magical Birds on a Wire mug.

This coffee cup has two different sides. When it's empty or filled with a cool beverage, it features a striking black silhouette of 18 birds on a wire. But if you add a hot liquid to the mug, the illustration will slowly transform from black to color before your very eyes. Then, when it cools again, it will return to its normal state. Each species of bird is completely unique, so the challenge is to name as many as you can before their colors are hidden.
