All the Music and None of the Biting
We saw so many cool new toys and games at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair this year. And among the standouts for us was a group of singing birds at the corner of Spin Master‘s booth. When we first passed by the DigiBirds there wasn’t any activity, but on our next go-round the birds were singing in harmony and we knew we needed to learn more about them.
We have a parakeet in the house, so the mere fact that one of the DigiBirds bore a stunning resemblance to our pet made this an instant must-have. Having one bird that tweets and sings to you is enough, but the real magic happens when you have two or more DigiBirds!
By blowing on the included whistle, the lead bird keys up the group by emitting tones telling the other birds what to sing. Then in perfect unison they belt out one of 20 songs followed by some random tweeting to celebrate their successful performance.
Their included cages double as storage and conveniently connect together to hang out of the way. The whistle also acts as a perching ring, allowing you to carry your DigiBird with you while he sings.
We also happened across the DigiBirds line at our local Toys R Us on Black Friday, proudly displayed on an endcap among other less-musical pets. They offered both the caged and single-pack versions, but they are also available in a discounted 3-pack. Judging by the crowd that appeared in Spin Master’s booth every time they cued up, these are sure to be in short supply now that the holiday buying season is in swing.
And something that really sets these little guys apart from the rest of the flock – the ability to unlock additional songs via a free app for iOS and Android! Play the included games on the app to earn secret bonus songs and make all the other birdies jealous!
Spin Master has a number of other products perfect for your holiday gift buying. Learn more about their product line by visiting their website and following them on Facebook or Twitter. I’m sure you recognize a number of products that are already in your closet!
What a great idea. My kids would love this! Thanks for the suggestion.
These look like a lot of fun! Would make a great gift for Christmas.
These are just adorable! I think they would look so cute in my neices room. She would love some of these. I have never seen these DigiBirds!
My daughters would love those. They love the robot type pets since we can’t have as many as they would want.
Love this! We recently found out my one daughter is allergic to any pet that has fur or feathers which obviously doesn’t leave much. This would be a cute way for her to still have a pet bird!
I have to say that Spin Master has some pretty impressive toys. We love the Dino, Zuppies candy the dog, and the games look great. My kids will be thrilled to receive these toys on Christmas as we bought them some.
These are absolutely adorable. I want one for my desk. I have a line of toys/figurines on my desk to make me smile and these would be perfect!
Oh, these look so cool! And so much easier to care for than a real bird. I can see senior citizens loving these as much as kids. My grandma always loved birds, but it got to be too much for her to take care of.
Huh! Glad you posted this about the Digi Birds because my daughter has it on her Christmas list and I didn’t know what they were. Thanks for sharing
What fun toys and so pretty too. lol, I’m sure kids appreciate that these don’t bite
Those are sweet! We have a parrakeet and whenever he hears a bird on TV or outside, he talks and sings back to them just like these birds do.
What a neat idea! I never would have thought about that.
Those are so sweet. My son would love one.
WOW, that is so cool!! My kids would love to have one of these singing birds, that’s unique!
My daughter loves her DigiBird. She asked Santa for another one and a cage for Christmas so they can sing together!
OMG how cool are these – my son would love this!!!
I didn’t make it this year but it looks like they have some cool items.
They look cute, my kid would enjoy it!
What an interesting toy, I really like how they sing together! I’m sure my daughter would love them.
Those are absolutely cute and I would love to have them for my nephews and nieces. 🙂
Hey, Scott! These are really cool! My kids would love these! BTW, I’ve been thinking of getting my kids a parakeet — are they easy to care for? Do you suggest getting a pair, or can one parakeet be happy on its own? (Sorry for all the questions!)
Wow that is an interesting concept. I never would have thoughta bout it. I had a parakeet at 5 and loved that bird. Avoiding getting bitten was part of the fun. LOL
these little birds would be an ideal first pet for kids they are cute & sing
