My 5 year old loves parrots after meeting them in Mexico earlier this year. So I went looking for a cuddly toy for him and found this one. what kind of parrot it is, and a little folk tale about Revane the parrot. In that respect it is somewhat revealing. However, there is a downside and maybe I should have given it to my son before rating it as "durable". It's not as durable as I thought. He is 5 years old and gentle with toys, but has a tendency to shed some of the green fur on him. It remains to be seen how durable it will be in the end. However, he is very cute and he is pleased with him.
