This is a fun gift idea for birders who love their coffee! This bird lover mug is heat activated with a different design showing depending on if the mug is full of hot coffee (or other beverage) or empty.

If you aren't yourself until you've had at least one cup of coffee, you'll enjoy the transformative properties in this bird lover mug. Different bird species are in silhouette on the mug -- most perched on lines. 

When the mug is filled with hot coffee (or tea), the image changes (just like your mood when you've got coffee on board!). The bird silhouettes transform from solid black to bright plumage colors.

This is a 12oz mug that does need a bit of special care to keep the image in good shape. Keep the mug out of bright sunshine for long periods of time, and for best results wash by hand.
