when you wind the spring tighter it gets more potential energy.when you release the toy the spring unwinds.it turns into kinetic energy.

you use a toy bird found in the toy store.

As many of you know Big Bird is a boy. WRONG! Big Bird is a girl and HER favirote toy is the 500x Vaccum Cleaner.
It is a small bird toy. It's wings are pointed towards hits head. Which gives it balance. You place your finger on his beak since his head turned down and he balances. These toys are not that complicated to understand.
when you wind up a clockwork toy, the spring inside of it twists and that called strain energy, then when you let go of the toy the spring unwinds and toy toy moves which is kinetic energy and it may also make a sound as well.

The energy transformation in a wind up toy is potential energy --> Kinetic energy
potencial energy
It has kinetic energy.
Potential energy stored in a spring => kinetic energy of a toy
coora noora!
They both fly.
