johnny Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 1 of 5 i brought one the same as you only mine was a pink pig so i had to glue a decoy over it i dont bother with the wire as when i got it home it would'nt spin round like in the shop so i just put it a cradle. the only thing wrong with it is it goes all the time which can put birds off i think but for 7quid anything better than nothing. good luck with yours.

sutty Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 I also bought one of those spinning toys whilst on my hols in the Canaries. it was a white dove but as u say it dont spin when you get them home i painted mine in the Woody liverage and it works best suspended from the tip of an old fishing rod, it goes all day on two batts. it does work but i find that if you move it around the pattern a bit it works better. it flaps and bounces quite lifelike. I also went back to the shop a few days later to pick up a flapping owl but they had none left so i guess ill have to re book my hols ther for this year. sutty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 you don,t need to go all the way to the canaries for one i got mine at Hamleys the toy shop in London, and i think any good toy store will have them. although given the choice i would go on holiday to get one .
