To use, a coin is placed at the top of the branch on the left side of the owl. The operating lever in the rear is pressed down and the owl’s head turns, which allows the coin to drop inside the owl. The coins are removed by removing a round lock trap in the base plate. However, the round lock trap is missing and not included with the owl. See less
