Complete enthusiasm
Well, our two tomcats are absolutely thrilled with the toy and just can’t get enough of it! As soon as they start panting heavily, I stop, but they both keep searching for the toy for at least another 3 minutes.
Unfortunately, the feathers come off quite quickly, but you can easily put them back in. However, one of them has already broken, sadly... Still, I’ll definitely order at least one more of these wands because our two just can’t get enough, and the price is fairly reasonable!

Guaranteed fun for cats
My cat loves to play, but this feather wand has really captured her attention. She plays with the feather wand with absolute enthusiasm, jumping and chasing after it, only to proudly parade around the flat with her "prey" in her mouth like a champion. The feathers moving in flight and the buzzing sound provide extra stimulation for my cat. Unlike other feather wands, humans can comfortably stand while playing, which is also recommended as it allows for a larger range of motion, letting the cat jump and run around. Another positive aspect is that any feathers pulled out in the heat of the moment can easily be reattached, meaning this wand lasts much longer than other feather wands.

Simply brilliant
Every cat loves it. My two just don’t want to stop playing. Great entertainment. Unfortunately, the lifespan of this wand isn’t very long...

Super
The fishing rod is a big hit with the kitties. Even my lazy little mouse gets highly athletic trying to catch the feathers :-) The downside, however, is that the feathers are quite loose and get pulled out quickly. That said, they are then taken to safety as "prey"... Overall, the rod is just brilliant and highly recommended!!!

Broken after 2 minutes
I wish I had taken the time to read the individual reviews instead of just looking at the overall "star" rating. After no more than 2 minutes, all the feathers were torn out, and I’m also puzzled as to why a small metal piece is attached. I find it unnecessary and dangerous, as one part on my fishing rod was sticking out a bit "spiky". I won’t be buying this again...

Broken!
My really lazy cat immediately jumped up from lying down to catch the bird. She had so much fun chasing after it and even jumping for it. When she caught it (on the second try), that was the end of it – torn to pieces! In my opinion (and for my wallet), a bit too quick, as the second one didn’t fare much better. Such a shame!

Total flop
Absolutely no interest from my cats.

Hunting instinct in overdrive!!!
As soon as the fishing rod was unpacked, the action began. The feathers were captured and fiercely defended with loud growling!! I can only recommend ordering at least a second rod, and make sure your fingers don’t get in the way ;-D !!

2nd Comment
As much as it’s a hit, the lifespan is VERY short! After 3 minutes at the latest, it has to be patched up again!! Quality assessment of the spring attachment is poor! But I’ll still buy it again because the cat goes absolutely crazy...

The cats are crazy about it.
Since I got the fishing rods, the cats have finally become active; otherwise, they didn’t move around much. The only downside is that the feathers come apart quickly. But I still think it’s great that something like this exists.

So, this fishing rod is okay for the reduced price. My cat tore it apart in 2 minutes, pulling out the feathers. I kept stuffing them back in again and again. That really shouldn’t happen. But she plays like crazy with the thing – we were outside, and the feathers were flying in the wind. Brilliant for kitties!

Super!
Simply brilliant, my cat pounced on it straight away! After less than a minute of playing, she was lying on the floor panting. I had to take it away from her and hide it for now before she collapses... The feathers come out quickly but can easily be put back in. Still great for the price. I'll definitely be ordering more!

The cats love it!!
The fishing rod is THE hit with our kitties! They often sit in front of the shelf where we have to keep it "safe" and meow at it so we’ll take it down and play :-)
They also come up with plenty of athletic moves to catch the feathers while playing :-)
However, this has the downside that the feathers are quite loosely "mounted" and get torn off quickly.
Because of this, I’ve already had to reorder three rods.
Apart from that, the rod is simply brilliant and highly recommended!!!

Favourite toy!! And really not that badly made...
We've tried all sorts of things before, but the feather wand has overshadowed everything else right from the start – my two are absolutely crazy about it.
Of course, the thing loses feathers every time (*flying around*), but they can be reattached. My first wand is already quite battered after a month, but it's still in daily use. You just have to step in (like with other kids) when the toy gets too torn apart – and make sure to put it away after playtime! That definitely increases its value for the tomcats even more...

Super fun but breaks very quickly
My cats love the wand toy, but a new one doesn’t last a minute. The first time one of the cats grabs hold of the feathers, they fall out. So I glue them back on. A minute later, the string attachment comes off.
I’ve already bought several of these wand toys, but the quality is just poor. A cat toy should at least survive one round of play.

Little Wildcats
From the very first minute, my two indoor cats (1 year old) went absolutely crazy for the toy wand. Unfortunately, it was already pulled apart for the first time after just two minutes.
I carefully put the feathers back into the designated holder and continued playing. The cats were going wild, truly incredible!
But shortly after, it was pulled apart again.
When I entered the living room the next morning, the feathers were completely shredded, and the holder had been chewed up :( Such a shame, but the fun factor for both humans and pets is definitely not lacking!

Super thing
The toy is just brilliant for the price, you really feel like a bird is flying around. Our cats go absolutely crazy when you pick up the wand. The length is great, you can even sit comfortably while using it. So, I can only recommend this wand – it's sturdy, even when our 8kg tomcat hangs off it.

Poor quality but popular with the cats
After my genuine DaBird broke, I bought three of these toy wands as replacements.
No. 1 lasted 15 seconds before the feather tuft broke, with the feathers coming loose and scattering around the room.
No. 2 lasted a little longer but looked very worn out after the first play session of about 15 minutes.
No. 3 is still sitting unopened in the cupboard.
Conclusion:
A fun toy that cats love, but the quality is absolutely dreadful.

Fun to use, but unfortunately breaks quickly.
My two tomcats absolutely love the Bird and go completely wild whenever I bring it out. Unfortunately, it’s always broken after just a few days of play. But given the low price, I don’t think that’s such a big deal.

Cats go crazy when they see the fishing rod!!!
Our two furry friends go absolutely crazy as soon as they see this wand. One of them plays very nicely with it, while the other won’t let go of the feathers and growls. That’s why we’ve already ordered a second one. :-D
Highly recommended for indoor cats.
But please always remember to store the wand carefully after playtime.
