Handmade Natural Feather Cat Toy Dah Bird Refills - Interactive Cat and Kitten Toy - 6 Pack

Wow! ... It's the beginning of June, 2020 and we're in the throes of a worldwide pandemic, social injustice and upheaval, never-before massive unemployment, etc. ... where can we find some solace and give ourselves some feel-good memories amongst all this strife? Well, I thought I'd treat my two little kitties with a "refresh" of their favorite toy, the "fluttering birdie"! You see, their old one stopped fluttering long ago and I've been searching, waiting, searching, etc. for a not-"crazy-expensive", suitable replacement. Well, my search ... and wait ... are now over! I ordered "Highland Farms Handmade Natural Feather Cat Toy Da Bird Refills — Interactive Cat and Kitten Toy" (6-pack) and it arrived today! My kitties eagerly eyed my mail (as they always do), always wanting to carefully inspect any "new arrival" items that I'm thinking must meet with their approval before being allowed in THEIR house. When the clear cellophane envelope with the awesome (as they turned out to be!) "fluttering birdies" was pulled from the package, their eyes widened in what seemed like joyful astonishment! Wasting no time, the littlest kitty, "Skittles", vociferously insisted on immediately assisting with the opening of the clear cellophane envelope and sticking her small head in there to give the contents a more thorough examination ... first smelling, then tasting ... commencing with a whiskers-rubbing approval of the soon-to-be-fluttering "birdies". And so it was: after a rather exhausting twenty-or-so minutes of jumping, rolling, spinning, diving, dashing, stalking with careful anticipation, and repeatedly "catching" what turned out to be a most magnificent fluttering birdie, both kitties settled down and resumed their vigilant watch of our backyard flora and fauna (the fauna?: many neighborhood cats visit them each morning and evening — as well as an occasional raccoon, skunk, or opossum). Those twenty-or-so minutes of utter joy, fun, and excitement — along with the very good memories they brought for both the kitties and me — and the many, many, many more future "twenty-or-so minutes" of joy, fun, and excitement for all concerned are very much well worth the small price of these high quality "fluttering birdies"! ... with this joy helping to console and even bring a modicum of happiness in our current throes of a worldwide pandemic, social injustice and upheaval, and never-before massive unemployment and the unhappiness all the latter brings to society. I'll post an update soon — and, hopefully, a video! — so you potential buyers can actually experience the joy, fun, excitement and happiness that the "Highland Farms Handmade Natural Feather Cat Toy Da Bird Refills — Interactive Cat and Kitten Toy" can bring not only to your kitties, but to y-o-u!

A well made product that last through many hours of play with my cat. She really loves them!

What can I say about Da-Bird other than this is the most amazing interactive cat toy I have ever owned! I don't even bother with other cat toys anymore. Something about this toy replicates the way birds fly or the noise their feathers make. My cats go bananas for it. I have to keep it locked up in a closet or they will carry it all over the house and chew it to pieces. They come running from all over the house when they hear the closet door open because they know what's in there. True Story: I was being vetted by a pet owner who wanted to give up her two grown cats (9 years old) for adoption. She had no choice but to part with them and was very upset and reluctant to let them go to just anyone. She had already rejected 10 other applicants by the time I applied. When I went to visit with the two "cat boys" I brought this toy along. They played with me for 2 hours even though they didn't know me. She was astounded. She said the cats didn't even stay in the room 10 minutes with the other applicants and she had never seen them play like that before. She was thrilled. I told her I couldn't take credit it was the toy but she was still so pleased that I ended up getting my two new lovable babies from her and they still absolutely adore this toy. It does take a beating and you have to replace the feather attachments from time to time but I find even off-brand attachments do well and hold their interest. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to entertain their cats.

These are great in that they last using on the fishing pole toy I bought them for. I do wish the feathers were spaced further apart, so they would make that flying noise when playing with cats like the original feather that came with my pole.

You can tell that compared to the typical Da Bird flyer toys that u can buy at petco and petsmart these attachments are made with less durable feathers, but since they are cats and tear them up regardless these work just fine for me. The cats love them almost just as much and have just as much fun. If ir tired of spending $10 every time u need a new feather attachment id go with this.

I was looking to replace a similar wand my girlfriend had purchased, which had the same wand, and similar looking feather attachment. The feather attachment was assembled so that it spun like a pinwheel! Making it look and sound like a real bird flying around. Cat was nuts over it! With Da Bird model, however, the feathers in the attachments are not arranged like a pinwheel. There is no spin at all. The attachment is not assembled with the craftsmanship of my previous item. The feathers are not arranged like blades, but sort of haphazardly glued in. The metal clip has the required degree of freedom, but the joint does not appear large enough or friction free enough to spin. Cat is not interested. The item did not advertise spinning. So only dropping to three stars. But this is really two stars if I was comparing to the other purchase. I'll have to look at my friend's purchase history to find the brand.

This is my cat's absolute favorite toy. I have to hide it on top of the dryer so she doesn't shred one an hour! She meows and leads me to the laundry room at least once a day and begs for me to take this toy out and play with her. I came back to the page to order another pack of these specific refills. Sheba loves how the feathers fly and make a sound like a real bird. I like how these refills don't shed as much and seem a little more natural than many of the other refills I have tried. Overall a great toy at a much better price than I have found elsewhere. Bonus points for color choice because purple is my favorite color! :)

Has a optional bell you can take off or leave on. Flys well without the bell and makes a feather sound that sends the cat wild.

Cats love these natural feathers to add to your wand

Amazing replacement for Da Bird- cats go absolutely wild for them. Very sturdy and great value for money.

Our cats go crazy for these toys. They are fairly durable.

Very good
