The drinking bird is an exhibition of several [[physical law]]s and is therefore a staple of basic [[chemistry]] and [[physics]] education. These include:
* The [[dichloromethane]] with a low [[boiling point]] (39.6&nbsp;°C, 103.28&nbsp;°F under standard pressure ''p''<sup><s>o</s></sup>&nbsp;= 10<sup>5</sup>&nbsp;[[Pascal (unit)|Pa]] - as the drinking bird is first evacuated, partially filled and sealed, the pressure and thus the boiling point in the drinking bird will be different), gives the heat engine the ability to extract motion from low temperatures. The drinking bird is a heat engine that works at room temperature.
* The [[combined gas law]], which establishes a proportional relationship between temperature and pressure exerted by a gas in a constant volume.
* The [[ideal gas law]], which establishes a proportional relationship between number of gas particles and pressure in a constant volume.
