In all honesty, I ordered this little guy purely for the sake of nostalgia, as the blackbird version (which is what I ordered) looked exactly like one my grandmother used and brought back many great memories of being in the kitchen with her and learning to cook and bake. 
Arrived well packaged and in great condition and is very cute. 
I did make an apple pie for no reason other than to try this little guy out. Works exactly as I expected it to and does it exactly what it is meant to do. No oozing, dripping filling and the bottom crust turned out perfect. My kids thought the little bird sticking up out of the pie was great. 
Already planning to purchase a few more of these.
