Do you think this would be good for a 16 year old?

I think it is below what a 16 year old would be interested in. One would be lucky to hold a 16 y.o attention for more than 3 minutes.

Is there any way to fix the balancing eagle if it is slightly off-balance? It's left wing hangs about .5-1 inch lower than the right wing.

The balance is caused by 2 odd-shaped magnets located in the front wing tips. I don't know if you have two different sized or different weights of magnets or if one or both of the magnets slipped backwards. I think I would try to figure out if either one slipped before I opened up the eagle so you might be able to shake the offending magnet back into place. If you opt to open the bird, it has small tabs on the top edges that are glued into small holes on the bottom edges. If you do try to separate the halves, be careful that you don't warp the plastic when you take it apart. How do I know these things? I teach highs chool, and one of my students opened one of the wings and removed the magnet...

My son and now my grandson start to play with the bird at age two!
