Manufacturer's Description
Introducing the bird that wants to be heard! SQUAWKERS McCAW the parrot is a talkin', squawkin', and totally unpredictable play pal! He's got plenty to say (and plenty of attitude!) right out of the box- and you can train him to do a whole lot more! This plush-plumed bird responds to you with more than 45 words, phrases and silly sound effects. Try recording additional words and phrases and even train SQUAWKERS McCAW to talk back to you, just like a real parrot! And just as much as this bird loves to talk, he loves to get down! SQUAWKERS McCAW sings and dances to his signature song, "Squawk, Squawk, Squawk" and your tunes too! A handy remote lets you switch between speech, dance and singing modes. He even plays silly gags, including whistling, laughing and making noises! And just like a real parrot, SQUAWKERS McCAW gets "hungry"! Feed him his cracker and he'll make yummy sounds! Go ahead and pet one of this pretty bird's special sensors to make him coo, sway, kiss or flutter his wings. He'll even play peek-a-boo! You never know what he'll say or when! But one thing is for sure. You'll always have a friend to act up, speak up and get down with SQUAWKERS McCAW.
Parrot comes with toy cracker, remote control, perch and instructions.
Customer Reviews
Christmas gift still popular in July
This was a present last Christmas and is still regularly played with now (July). It looks and moves quite realistically (for example responding when you stroke it's beak) and is a talking point when people visit, especially as it repeats phrases they say (and makes rude noises at inopportune moments, which children find very funny for some reason). Quite an expensive gift, but seems to have lasting value and appeal.
HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED!
This has just GOT to be one of the most exciting Electronic Pets that has ever come out - particularly in this ridiculously 'cheap' price range! I cannot understand a previous comment which grumbles at the cost since it is only a few years' back that an Electronic Pet like this, and as 'accomplished' would have cost hundreds of pounds...
A previous Reviewer has quite rightly said that if one is caught off guard, one can be forgiven for thinking on first sight/encounter, that this is a real Parrot! The movements are tremendously life-like, and the bird 'communicates' in a way I've seen no other robotic pet do. (excepting perhaps the 'Aibo' which is well out of the ordinary person's price range)
This bird can respond to commands and questions, and also is most unpredictable - particularly with what you teach it to say (which can become quite embarrassing for those who teach it to say the wrong things in company, and so beware!)
When I ordered mine, I didn't really know what to expect. I'd previously had the Texta Parrot 'Polly' (see my review for that Item - as 'a customer') and was well-chuffed - until now that is! (I guess my poor old 'Poncho' and 'Chulip' are now going to be lacking some attention with this super big bird around!)
I would certainly recommend this to anyone - young or old, and also for those who are unable to have pets for various reasons - sounds a bit sad I know, but wait until you get it before you judge!
I thought this was rather easy to operate - but then I'm not a child (at least not in the real sense of the word!) and I got mine up and running in a relatively short time. It comes with batteries which are for demonstration purposes only, and so DO NOT immediately assume that you have a faulty bird if it does not respond when he arrives; I have found (and have heard from others too) that many are arriving with the 'demo' button clicked 'off', which leads people to believe they are faulty, or the batteries are weak/dead, and so think carefully BEFORE packing back up and returning him!
This Item is extremely well-packed for transit purposes and so is highly unlikely to get damaged in that way. The only downside to this is; the box is so beautifully designed you will want to keep it - but you can't - you won't be able to because it has to be almost completely destroyed in order to get it open, and to get at your bird! I guess at least that is a good thing in that you know when you buy one it has not been 'used' and returned.
Super! Go buy it - they may not be around for very long!!
DEFINITELY FIVE HUNDRED STARS FROM ME!
A bit over priced!
Although this toy is relatively good fun I would complain it is rather overpriced for the amount of use its had in our house. Although Squawk is looks very realistic and is well loved by the kids the novelty soon wares off. The controls are a little complicated for youngsters and if left on it can be very irritating - I would only recommend getting this (in the sale) as a last resort rather than the real thing.
