Fly Your Loon Kite Dockside

Click here to see bird kites that we salvaged from our recent warehouse flood at sacrifice prices. We're temporarily sold out of Assembled Loon kites at the regular price, but we might still have some salvaged Assembled Loons left.

The Loon bird kite has a 42" wingspan. Like all of our bird kites, it's made of tough tyvek and uses high quality, fade-resistant inks. It looks quite realistic with its wings flapping in the breeze. If you have a high speed Internet connection, check out the manufacturer's video. (It's a very big movie; give it plenty of time to load).

Loons are large water birds native to North America and Europe, and frequently associated with rural New England. Their name comes from their haunting territorial yodel call. Loons propel themselves with their feet, quickly diving underwater to catch and swallow prey. 

Assembled vs. Unassembled

• Unassembled bird kites are a good project for ages 12 and up. You'll need scissors, waterproof white glue, and a stapler (none of which are included). Most of the assembly time is spent waiting for glue to dry. The base price shown on this page is for an Unassembled kite.
• Assembled bird kites go together in three simple steps, and are ready to fly in minutes. This is the way to go if you don't like the time and challenge of construction projects, or if your time is valuable to you.
  
• Both types of bird kite ship "knocked down" in a large mailing tube.

Remember to choose Assembled or Unassembled
