We just got a big delivery of kites that are ready and waiting to be taken out for some great flying in the gorgeous spring weather!

Spring Break is coming up for the local schools, the weather is turning warmer with great breezes, and of course Chico Kite Day is just around the corner.

Chico Kite Day will be held on Sunday, March 28th for 2010 at Community Park just off 20th Street in Chico.

Get a kite and go enjoy springtime in Chico with friends and family.

One Drop M1

Back in stock! Well, for now anyway.

We were lucky enough to get a small restock of the One Drop Project 2, and One Drop Dingo.

And…very lucky to get a small batch of the One Drop M1 yo-yo. The M1 was discontinued, but the kind folks and One Drop found a few of the M1’s and sent them our way! These are the flow groove M1’s.

Just arrived!

Two new colors of the YoYoFactory Protostar. We now have transparent blue bodies with silver weight rings as well as transparent yellow bodies with black weight rings.

Featuring the Center-trac bearing and silicone response, the Protostar yo-yo spins for incredibly long times and immensely stable for learning new tricks,

Combined with some new color options, a great yo-yo gets even better.

SPYY Punchline - Black (Image from SPYY)

Courtesy of our local post office, the SPYY Punchline Yo-Yo has just made it in through the door.

Two color ways:

• Black with orange splash
• Light blue with yellow splash

A totally unique profile that feels great in the hands.

Uses a large bearing for long spins, familiar play, and easy swap out if you prefer a different bearing. Response is accomplished with silicone pads – the groove is deep enough that flowable silicone can be applied if you prefer.

Available in our online store or in person.

A quick heads up for everyone who likes a small, pocket friendly yo-yo. The Dingo by One Drop just came in.

Four color ways: Green, Blue, Black, and Pink.

Flow groove response, large bearing, and a 1.75″ diameter. Lots of fun.

Chico Yo-Yo Company delToro

The Chico Yo-Yo Company released their second yo-yo, the delToro and we have a small quantity in stock. Deep-V profile, very stable and smooth, large bearing, and three great colors.

Currently available in store and online here at Bird in Hand.

Silky smooth beadblasted finish give this a great look.

Got word that Steve just finished assembling more of the SPYY Punchline and is shipping them to us shortly.

The SPYY Punchline is Guy Wrights signature yo-yo.

Photos and specs to come as soon as these arrive.

New splash anodize finishes for the YoYoFactory Skyline – four different color ways. Blue with silver splash, blue with red splash, violet with gold splash, and violet with blue splash. Check the online shop to see more colors. If you haven’t tried the YoYoFactory Skyline, these are a treat – fast playing, very stable, hubstacks for innovative play, and a 2 inch diameter for landing those intricate tricks

The Chaotic from the collaboration of Turning Point and YoYoFactory. Take the already great performing YoYoFactory Lunatic and infuse it with the genius that is Kentaro Kimura to give it a few tweaks to details and performance and you have a winner. This run of Chaotics features and acid wash anodize which gives a marbled or mottled appearance to the anodizing which makes the finish on each and every one of them unique.

You can see more about the Chaotic in the online store.
