Cats love it a lot, but durability...
My cats have never been so insanely excited about a toy before.
Unfortunately, though, it loses all its feathers within a week.
The quality is extremely poor. Since the manufacturer is surely aware of this, it would be reasonable to expect an additional set of replacement feathers to be included.

Great toy, even if it doesn't last long.
My one cat was completely fascinated by the feathers and got really excited while playing, but unfortunately, it was only a short-lived fun as the feathers were torn off straight away.
However, a new toy emerged: my other cat – who usually can’t be motivated to play – suddenly went wild and played non-stop with the clip part attached to the end of the string. So, for me, this toy was definitely worth it, as even the lazy cat turned into a playful tiger.

What a load of rubbish
Within 5 minutes, my cats had taken the thing apart.

Makes lazy cats lively
Even my lazy British Shorthair cat starts playing immediately when I take the bird out of the cupboard. She then runs around the flat trying to catch the bird.
The idea itself is really great. However, it's very unstable due to the two rods that need to be assembled, and the feathers are also very loosely attached. The quality definitely needs improvement, so only 4 stars.

....very short playtime for my cat :o((
Unfortunately... after playing for the second time, the feathers came off. Sorry, but you can't talk about quality here!
*Not recommended*
Best regards,

Not exactly great :-(
I received it and wanted to assemble it, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. I didn’t know how—no instructions, nothing at all, hmm... Anyway, my two little ones don’t really like it either.

unfortunately
The red feathers stain massively as soon as they get wet. They are constantly being chewed on, etc. This flaw is certainly not pleasing – because reddish stains on light carpets are not very pleasant.

5 minutes of fun
Unfortunately, my naughty, naughty tiger actually managed to catch the fishing rod after just 5 minutes. Well, that was that. While removing it from his drooling mouth, the poor thing immediately lost most of its feathers.
Lakritze, that's the name of the naughty, naughty (indoor) tiger, has already destroyed several of these rods, but never one as quickly as this. Conclusion: Never again.

2 seconds
My little rascals, just 5 months old, destroyed this fishing rod in 2 seconds flat. Not good quality. How's it supposed to hold up against fully grown house cats???

Sometimes good - sometimes bad
I order this play wand for my cats quite often and like to include it when our kittens move to their new homes. The play wand is actually pretty good and lasts quite a while. Sometimes, though, the craftsmanship is so poor that after 3-4 play sessions, the feathers fall out and the fun is over. All in all, it’s no match for the original DaBird, but in terms of value for money, it’s definitely okay.

Great toy
My two little ones absolutely love the wand toy. They go completely crazy for it and can hardly wait to play every time. Unfortunately, the feathers come off after a few play sessions, but I was able to put them back in quite easily. However, that doesn’t work in the long run. I’ve ended up buying another one now because the wand toy has become indispensable.

Disappointed
I ordered this fishing rod for the second time, and unfortunately, I had to notice that the quality has declined. The swivel is missing, which causes the line to twist. The price was the same.

No comparison to the original!
Admittedly, the low price tempted me. However, the quality is still quite poor – especially if you've had the chance to try the original.
1. The string tangles immediately, so you constantly have to stop the game (the original has a swivel joint).
2. The feathers don’t flutter at all like they’re supposed to (mimicking the typical bird flight sound).
3. The feathers are pulled out much faster than with the original.

Feathers are flying...
...off the rod. And that after just 2 uses. Basically, the rod is great. Thanks to the long stick, the angler’s hands are protected from overexcited claws. The feathers make a fluttering noise when swung back and forth, which grabs the attention of almost every cat. It’s not just for feather fanatics ;) After a bit of tuning with some tape, we can keep on fishing.

The cats are thrilled
Super rod for 2 x 5 minutes, the cats are thrilled, but the owner isn’t. All the feathers (3) came off, the stick is unstable and falls apart. Better to spend a bit more money and get a rod that lasts longer than 10 minutes.

Already broken
The cats were absolutely thrilled. Unfortunately, the stick kept falling apart. And after one evening of play, this toy (feathers) is now beyond repair. I'm used to sturdier toys. Such a shame. Money wasted.

Dissatisfied
Well, my little tomcat had exactly 10 minutes of fun with it... then all the feathers were ripped out and shredded! I expected more from the toy!
Unfortunately, it’s not recommendable!!

Absolutely indispensable!
This play wand is perfect! Thanks to the length of the rod and the string, as well as the fantastic feathers, you can play with the cats effortlessly – no major physical exertion required. Even while sitting, the feather can be handled perfectly, and the cats absolutely love chasing after the bird-like movements!

Loot
My cats really like it as a toy, but unfortunately, after just 2 minutes, some feathers had already come loose from the holder. Eventually, all of them fell off, and even gluing them back didn’t help. The construction itself is very flimsy. Such a shame.

The toy for our indoor tiger
We’ve never been as satisfied with any other toy as we are with this one. With a bit of practice, you can make the feathers fly through the air in a way that’s absolutely “bird-like.” I’ve never seen such a sparkle in the eyes of our indoor cat before. After a successful hunt, she always turns into a proud lion, carrying her prey away with her head held high :-) It’s especially fun when we play various bird sounds in the background. We wouldn’t want to be without this feather wand anymore.
