Toys and Games Reviews of Hasbro FurReal Friends Squawkers McCaw Parrot
Customer Review: Great for Children and Adults
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW! This would be a wonderful "pet" for anyone. After wanting this toy for an entire year I got it for Christmas 2008. He is completely unpredictable unlike other FurReal toys. Squawkers is packaged in demo mode, so if you ever saw him in the store, don't think that is all he does.
He responds to voice commands:
You say hello, he will say, "What do you want?" "How're you doin'?" or "What's up?" You say whatcha doin'?, he will say, "Chillin'" "Hangin' around" or "Talkin' to you." you say pretty bird, he will say "Pretty bird" "Uh - huh" or "Who are you callin' pretty?" You say peek-a-boo, he will say "Peek-a-boo" or "I see you" if there is light on the light sensor on his forehead. If it is dark, he will say "Where'd you go?" or "I can't see you." In this way you cup your hand over his head and eyes to play "peek-a-boo." You say I love you, he will say, "I love me too" or "I love you." He will say I love you in two slightly different ways. You say are you hungry, he will say, "I'm hungry" or "Feed me." You can then feed him his cracker. If you feed him too many times he will start to hiccup. You say good night, he will say "Good night" "Sleep tight" "Sweet dreams" or "Adios." After all of these he will go to sleep. He will kiss if you say give me a kiss or he will say "Oh, gross" or "Kiss-kiss" and then kiss you.
He has sensors that respond to your touch - they sometimes make him coo, sigh, flap his wings, kiss, or crunch. (I said sometimes because I'm sure there are other things that he does too because I never found out what the infrared sensor does and would really like to know.)
Head sensor, Beak sensor, Tongue sensor, Light sensor (on forehead), Back sensor, and Infrared sensor (What DOES it do?)
He can dance to your songs when you say let's play - he will say "OK" then you can say wanna dance and he will say "play me some music." Then play your song, and he will dance for two minutes!
If you say repeat after me after saying let's play he will say "repeat after me" Then he will repeat sounds and words you make or say for one and one half minutes.
He doesn't respond to your custom voice commands well - you have to be very precise and have the same inflections in your voice as you did when you recorded the command.
I was extremely gentle with this toy. However, one day the foot just fell onto the floor when I picked up "Squawkie" as I call him for short. Luckily I was able to somehow fix the cracked plastic foot and it has not at all affected him.
The perch doesn't work very well. He always clicks and falls backwards off of it.
He comes with a cracker to feed to him - it is fake! Also chews through batteries - use rechargeable!
Go to Hasbro.com to see his manual.
I've had him since Christmas and play with him every day! He is a lot of fun and a really great toy!
Description of Hasbro FurReal Friends Squawkers McCaw Parrot
Squawkers McCaw the parrot is a talking, squawking and totally unpredictable play pal. It?s got plenty to say and plenty of attitudes. Startlingly realistic, this plush-plumed "animatronics" parrot acts up, speaks up and gets down with more than 45 words, phrases and sound effects, including his signature "Squawk, Squawk, Squawk" song and dance. It'll dance to your tunes, too. By teaching additional words and phrases, you can even "train" Squawkers to talk back to you, just like a real parrot. Be sure you have its cracker on hand when he gets hungry otherwise you'll hear about it. This Squawker comes with toy cracker, remote control, perch and instructions. It requires four AA batteries, which are included; remote control requires two AAA batteries, which are also included. It measures 12" tall.The Hasbro FurReal Friends Squawkers McCaw Parrot might be the sassiest toy ever made. Squawkers McCaw is a full-size toy macaw parrot who, just like a real parrot, repeats words, can be "taught" to speak, and responds to touch. Witty, energetic, and completely unpredictable, Squawkers takes interactive play to a whole new level. He is recommended for children ages 5 through 10.
 This full sized toy parrot that can repeat words, responds to touch, and more. |
Modeled after an actual macaw parrot, Squawkers McCaw has a velvety feather coat that makes him fit for cuddling. His vibrant blue, orange, yellow, and green markings are just like those of an actual macaw parrot. His feet are also fully articulated: He can stand on his perch or be propped up on a flat surface. And Squawkers doesn't just look just like a parrot -- he moves like one, too. Through highly innovative animatronics, Squawkers can move in incredibly convincing ways. He'll cock his head when confused or ruffle his wings when happy. He will even get down and dance to your favorite tunes, all while singing along. Squawkers loves mealtime, and comes with a cracker for when he needs to be fed.
Sassy and Talkative
The similarity to a parrot doesn't stop at physical appearance. Squawkers, with his advanced voice recognition system, can talk in a funny, squawky voice and repeat what your child says, just like an actual parrot. He has plenty to say and do the moment you bring him home -- for example, in response to "Hello" or "Are you hungry?", he'll respond with his own unique quips. However, he can be trained to do a whole lot more. Using the remote control, kids can program him to respond to their own custom questions. Kids can teach him to sing, tell jokes, and say whatever else they want him to say.
Full of Personality
Squawkers is a feisty parrot, and can actually switch moods depending on how your child interacts with him. He has a basic "repeat" mode, where he simply repeats any word spoken to him. He can also be humorous and playful, randomly responding to regular questions in nonsensical ways. Be careful, though: When Squawkers is irritated, he'll try to get attention by complaining and squawking loudly! Take good care of Squawkers McCaw, and you'll find that there is really no other parrot quite like him.
