Gift for my 12 year old daughter. She recently adopted a budgie (Eric) who found this "toy" with two of his best friends. I don't know what to do with him and the toy now because he won't leave her alone๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ. The toy is cute and funny as it repeats what you say. The volume can get quite loud so I would suggest turning it off at night or when you need quiet. I love that the birds actually move their head, wings, tail and body like they are real birds. I also love that they make real bird sounds (our budgie Eric proves it). This is definitely a gift for a bird lover. It's unforgettable.
