xGardner Pet Flapping Bird Toy for Indoor Cats
This grey flapping bird from Gardner Pet is a touch activated playmate that brings dynamic motion and chirps to your cat’s indoor adventures. It doesn t fly, but its wings flap with lively motion while it spins and darts across the floor or hangs from a rope for dangling play. The result is a visually engaging, self-contained source of enrichment designed to stimulate curiosity and natural hunting instincts in a safe, indoor environment.
Why indoor cats love this toy
Domesticated cats often crave movement and motion cues that mimic real prey. TheBird mimics those cues with soft wing flaps and chirps, inviting your cat to pounce, swipe, and stalk. The combination of visual flutter and audible chirps can transform a simple space into an exciting playground, encouraging brisk bursts of activity and focused play without the risk of real birds in the house.
