Product Description
The cats are CRAZY about Da Bird! Da Bird (easy store) consists of 2 18" fiberglass rods that connect, 50 lb. test braided nylon string and aerodynamically configured feathers that mimic the action and of a REAL bird in flight.
A single bob of Da Bird is completely irresistible to cats. It is recommended by veterinarians as a great way for your cat to exercise and in play therapy for behaviour issues.
PLAY THERAPY -Da Bird is an excellent toy to use with behaviour issues. With Da Bird Cat toy, fly the Da bird around the room or garden in random sweeping movements like a bird in real flight. Your cat's attention will be completely focused on it's "prey". Talk to the cat with a light happy voice. During the flight, land or swoop the Da bird close to your cat, they will be waiting/jumping for the right moment to catch their prey! When caught, play dead and take the chance to get away when the cat releases their grip! Repeating this routine will entertain and exhaust your cat. If they are panting, rest for a while and start again until the cat is completely tired. The kitty kopter can be used to satisfy the cats catch instinct and some feathers for the kill chew instinct. Then a high protein snack. This completes the natural cycle of hunt-catch-kill-eat. It' always best to put away the Da Bird after play sessions. Used regularly, This toy as play therapy can help with shy/ nervous cats and different kinds of aggressive feline behaviours.
The feather end is replaceable, so once a cat has had many great times catching their prey, the supplied feather end can be replaced quickly.
There are 5 other different attachments (Available separately) -Fun Fur,Mousey,Sparkler,Puff and New Super Feather refill to provide variety of play and long term interest.

Unbelievable! Amazing! Incredible! Spectacular!... and that's just the acrobatics cats pull off trying to catch this thing!
''Da Bird'' is widely regarded by experts as the best cat toy there is - and my 2 cats agree. In fact, it's so potent a toy it's only recently become available in the UK (I used to have to import mine from the US!).
It's collapsable for easy storage and you can get different attachments for it too. I've tried them all but the original bird-like feathers get by far the best energetic, manic, and oddly positioned airborne results.
My 2 cats go bonkers every time I get it out the cupboard (oh yes, it has to be locked away!) and make all manner of weird clicks, chirps and calling sounds when I bring it out to play.
They go whizzing through the air, spinning, diving and weaving about just like ''Da Bird's'' feathered head does when I swing it around. And that's ''Da Bird's'' secret.
For those of you who fish, ''Da Bird'' works like a spinning lure on the end of a fishing pole. As you trace an arc through the air, the feathers spin on the end of the line and make a fluttering sound, mimicking a real bird I guarantee no cat can resist.
With a bit of practise you can get pretty good at controlling it too, and pretty soon you'll be 'casting' it on top of shelves, cupboards and door frames.
It's best used as intended though; by simply pulling it through the air, then whisking it past kitty, you can get him to jump and contort mid-air into all sorts of funny shapes and positions.
Backflips, star jumps, 360s and standing pikes into forward rolls - they're all possible when my cats are chasing this thing. In fact, I'm thinking of entering them in the 2012 Olympics.
I'm pretty sure with ''Da Bird'' in our corner we'd scoop a gold medal and beat Russia and China in the gymnastics with ease. We'd probably stand a good chance at the 100m too if I could just dangle this thing at the finish line!
I can't recommend this product enough. Just watch your moggie go bananas trying to catch what they think is a real bird.
In fact, when mine catch it, they actually crunch the plastic where the feathers meet the line. It's as if they think it's alive and they're trying to break its neck or something.
Then, the one who caught it growls at his brother (to warn him off), and skulks away to a hiding place behind the sofa with his fresh kill it dangling from his mouth.
He he he, but then I just pull it out from underneath him with a quick tug on the line and another round begins!!! 10/10... and that's from the cats not me. Just one thing - be sure to stock up on the refills!!!!

The da bird range of toys are very good, but don't buy the pull apart rod. It does not click into place securely, so when the cat jumps for it it just comes apart.

My re-homed Siamese cross bred cat who is extremely hard to please LOVES this, he has only just started to be himself after 2 years with me and this really was great to see him enjoy playing without getting bored to quickly.
I was a bit sceptical at first as the product looks like one of those sticks but with the feathers on a string. I was very wrong the length is good as it allows the cat much more freedom to jump at it, the feathers not only look like a flying bird or butterfly, they seem to make the cat act very much like they were hunting, and when they catch it, they really do go at it like they were kittens learning to kill again.
The packing was fantastic, I have order cat toys online before and they have arrived broken because they were just shoved into an envelope and not protected at all. This product however arrived in perfect condition.
Very happy cat and owner. Highly recommend this item for any cat.

Loads of fun!
My cat LOVES this, it's really the only toy he shows any interest in. We both have a lot of fun playing with it, so I will definitely invest in a "refill".
