I bought this toy for my dog because it was cute and he likes toys that make noises (we have a frog that croaks, a monkey that squeals, and elephant that roars, etc). First off, the description of a 'talking' parrot is deceptive. When squeezed, it does a generic bird chirp. Also, this parrot is quite small. The biggest problem with this toy though is that it does not hold my dogs attention. He played with for a few minutes when we first gave it to him, but he hasn't touched it again since. That was pricey for a few minutes of fun. If you're dog chases birds or his ears perk up when he hears a chirp, then he'll probably get a lot more out of this toy. Otherwise, skip it and look for the other 'talking' toys.

When squeezed the parrot says "Polly want a cracker." My puppy loves it. I bought several of these toys, but the parrot is his favorite. We just got it this morning and he won't put it down! He loves hearing it talk to him! I have to keep an eye on him because he keeps taking it outside through his doggie door, and, since there is a sound maker inside, he should not have unsupervised access to it, but he loves it so much, I don't want to take it from him!UPDATE: It seemed to be well made and SHOULD have stood up well to smaller dogs, but only lasted a couple of weeks with my little guy, who likes to play "tug" with it. The seams went first, then whole pieces, even after repairs were made. The same thing happened with the other "talking" toys. One by one, the seams burst, pieces came off, stuffing was pulled, etc.
My elderly German Shepherd wasn't impressed at all, but I don't think it would be a good toy for a big dog anyway. These are NOT big toys. And if you have a large dog that likes to tear out the stuffing in his stuffed toys, this would NOT be a good choice for you. If you're looking for a tough toy that will last, keep looking. But, if you want your dog to have fun for a relatively short time, this will do the trick.
