Why it matters
Da Bird is the long-loved wand: a 36 in rod and 32 in string with a guinea feather that spins and whirs like a bird in flight. Few toys get lazy cats moving like it.
Buy refills; the feathers get caught.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Every cat
- Lazy cats
- Bonding play
Look elsewhere if
- Unsupervised use (strings)
- Cats that chew feathers
- Owners who won't put it away after play
Pros and cons
Pros
- Feather spins
- Long rod
- Low price
Cons
- Refills needed
- Supervise only
- Rod can bend
Limitations to weigh
- Supervise play with strings, wires and small parts, and put them away after.
- End each session with a catch: a treat or a toy your cat can grab.
- Rotate toys every few days; cats lose interest in a toy that's always out.
