TL;DR my semi-feral cat loves the toy. Feathers on the tail won't last but the rest of the toy seems fairly durable.My cat is semi-feral, a rescue who was abandoned then picked up by a shelter and eventually adopted by myself. After almost 7 years together now he's great but he gets moments where the feral takes over and he start running around the house like a crazy person. When I lived in a suburban neighborhood he was an outside/inside cat that would play around the neighborhood and had free access to be able to go outside whenever he wanted without any real danger. Now I've moved into a much more rural wooded area with things like bears, foxes, coyotes, skunks, dogs, etc and it's not safe to let him have free access to the outside. This has made the move much more difficult as now some of his more destructive habits have returned and I am doing what I can to alleviate those habits.He doesn't like alot of toys, he'll play with them for a few minutes and then wont touch them. He loves this toy, as soon as I turned the toy on the chirping activated his hunting instincts and he went for it and played with until the battery died(I had just pulled it out of the box and turned it on). The feathers did not last but the rest of the toy still works great even with him playing with it roughly, chewing it, scratching and kicking it as well as me tossing it around the house to engage him a little more. The toy isn't very big, about the size of the average bird you'd see around the neighborhood, but that works in it's favor in my opinion.My one complaint is that I did not see a USB-C cable to charge the toy in the box, I have some to charge my wireless devices so it's not a huge problem but does suck that it's not included.

Had this for a few months (says I ordered this mid-January and now it’s the end of April), and it still works and charges!The only thing even mildly wrong with it is that the tail feathers have seen better days, but that’s to be expected.I did buy a similar bird toy from a different brand last year that died died within a few weeks, so I was really skeptical about getting a new one. This said they have the best longevity of the bird toys, and I agree that they hold up to their promise.

Judging from the reviews, I expected my cat to be thrilled with this toy that does have 3 flapping modes that it goes through—fast, faster, & one that pauses & resumes flapping. But it spends most of its time lying belly up on the floor as I've shown. Alexander is only 2 years old & loves playing with toys, especially crinkle balls, plastic springs, & 2 mylar-winged dragonfly wands that he destroyed in short order. But he doesn't do much more than watch the sparrow before he swats it, turns it on its back, & walks away. Perhaps if it caught his attention by running around on the floor for a bit before the flapping started, it would be more of a challenge for him. Btw, if you pick it up by its head it won't trigger the flapping & chirping.Perhaps Alexander is a different sort of cat—silvervine held no appeal for him either & he didn't go crazy for a fast-moving laser dot either. I've rated it 4 stars, though, because there's nothing wrong with the toy itself which appears to be made & is holding up well, & charges properly unlike the 1st one that arrived.

I was recharging it and was horrified to find it was wet. I was ready to return it when I realized one of my cats had already tried to chew and play with it. OMG! HE LOVE IT AND IT WASN'T EVEN TURNED ON YET! I am now forced to buy another one for my other cat!

My cat loves this. We've had it for months now and it still charges great. Battery life is fair for what it is... lasts a few days with moderate use. Fairly durable as mine has carried it around and bunny kicked it all over the place.

Showed up fine in the packaging. However, I do have to say on the contrary, it quite literally only flaps and makes noise. I saw it on TikTok where it was bouncing around but it just sits there, flapping and chirping after almost an hour of charging. -great if your pets only go off of audible stimulus.

This is one of his favorite toys. It has held up well after lots of play. He has gotten a little board with familiarity but will come back to it regularly for a few minutes at a time.

I am 100% satisfied with the Flapping Chirping Sparrow cat toy by Potaroma!!! My cat absolutely loves it!! The quality of the sparrow is very good. The feathers and fabric are great and very realistic.....including eyes, beak, etc. The weight also gives it a realistic feel. The chirping is authentic, and the volume is perfect. I love being able to plug it in and recharge the battery....so much better than buying batteries. The on/off switch and battery port are easy to get to and well protected. Our cat has pounced, kicked, bit, and tossed the sparrow, and it has held up perfectly. I had a question...sent Pataroma an email, and rec'd a prompt, courteous, personal, and helpful reply. I am very pleased with this purchase!!!
