Is the kettle made in the usa or china?

Alessi is Italian. Michael Graves was an American designer & architect who appreciated the architecture of Rome. Not all Alessi products are made in Italy. Most are, and so is this kettle. While your question was not specifically for me, I do have one of these for sale. The one I have was personally engraved by Michael Graves, thus the price is much higher. Will it boil any better than the non-autographed kettle ? No, but it is special in that Michael Graves lived till March of 2015 and never wavered for good quality design. I can say that this particular kettle I have was opened and engraved by Michael at his Princeton, NJ offices where it was also designed - in the USA.

Where are these kettles made?

I believe in Italy, an Italian you'll love forever!

do you have to remove the bird to pour the water?

Yes. I have not tried to pour hot water through the bird.

does this kettle work for induction cooktops?

It works perfectly fine on an induction cooktop. I've had my kettle since 1984 and it is indestructible. Funny thing is, on the induction cooktop it comes to a boil so quietly and quickly that at first it seems like it isn't heating. If I can give you some advice it would be to purchase a couple of extra little birds for it because they get fragile and break after a while (like several years). Amazing little tea kettle!
