The Buzzy Bee is a piece of kiwi culture. Most kiwi kids grow up with at least one of these “pull-along” toys. The wings rotate making a clicking sound. From Wikipedia:
Designed and first produced in the 1940s by Hec and John Ramsey, it became popular during the post-war baby boom. Its bright colours and clicking sound call are familiar to many New Zealanders, making it one of the most well-recognised items of Kiwiana.
