Coco the parrot is up before the beak.
The Gomboc is a convex three-dimensional homogeneous object with gently peaked, organic curves. It looks like a piece of modern art. But if you tip it over, something unusual happens: it rights itself. It doesn't have a hidden counterweight inside that helps it perform this trick, oh no no no: it is the world's first self-righting artificial object.
