Prevue Pet Products Mimic Me Voice Recorder - Green

I have bought sooooooo many toys...several mechcanical puppet talking/moving birds...and a mirror that emits a recording when the bird perches on it. BUT this product is BY FAR THE BEST!!! It has 2modes that allow for how frequent you want the recording to play...it's Great to teach phrases to birds who have the ability to learn to talk. Its awesome to keep birds company...what better way for them not to feel alone then to hear their parents voice??? That is why I bought it for my Green Cheek Conure. You set it up on a flat surface away from the birds and reach... NEVER in the cage! It gives you 10seconds to record...which is a lot more than any other of the products I have tried. And the recording "Quality" Excels all the other products I tried which were muffled..or too low. This product records clearly and has a perfect volume...not too loud or too low! Something told me when I saw this product to buy it first...I didn't listen to my intuition as I found the price to be $20-$25 a bit too expensive. Instead I ended up spending "more" on many different products that were inferior. This is an Awesome product and its worth every penny!...You won't be disappointed. (Sigh), if I could go back in time...

Thank you for this toy! My parrot loves this toy and could listen to it for hours. Even though she is an older parrot and could only say a few words all of her life...now she is trying to talk more words that she hears from the MIMIC ME. This toy is quite pricey, but they enjoyment your bird will get from it, and the enjoyment and excitement you and your family will get when your bird starts to talk is well worth the investment. I have also given one as a gift and their cockatiel loves the toy too! By they way, other than having to replace batteries...this operates the same as it did when I first got it which was almost 2 years now. So, it is made well and very sturdy, but not to be place inside the cage, only outside near the cage so that it can be heard. Great toy!!!

1st it takes a Teeny TINY screwdriver to access the battery compartment. I tossed the screw bc I have no plans on reliving that battle ever; I keep this device near the cage but not in reach. ( -1/2 star do to the ridiculous small size of the screw to remove for usage). 2nd there is no volume, therefore you have to record at a slight distance to keep from completely blasting your bird once the loop recording kicks on. I kept playing back & re-recording until an acceptable volume was achieved; oh and this device is by no means a hi-tech recorder, this is a very basic 10 second recoding. (- 1/2 star for no volume control). 3rd my parrot seems to enjoy the recordings, he listens so intently that I honestly believe this helps him feel connected when we are away. 4th learning curve but would purchase again, sadly there is not a lot of recording options to chose from so this gets the job done in very simple terms.

This one is okay, but I don't expect it to last long. The sound quality is okay. It's clear enough that it sounds like me talking. I've only used it for one whole day, today. The batteries that came with it, are too long. They don't fit down in all the way, so the cover can't be used. I tried good old American AAA batteries, and they work but are too long as well. The product looks something like cheap dollhouse furniture in a nauseating green color. My bird is a young parrotlet. He seems to listen to the recording, although if I'm sitting here at my desk and it goes off, it startles me out of my sox. I know this will help keep him company while I'm gone, as it does sound like me talking, and I know from experience that this type of device works well for teaching the bird new words. The volume is obnoxiously and intrusively loud. Solution: I put a plastic Folger's coffee can over it to muffle the volume. I won't return the item, but again, it's going to wear out soon.

This is a great product. The recordings are very clear and at the right volume. Since it only turns on periodically, every 15 minutes, the batteries last longer. It also is very easy to turn off and on. I can not give a good wolf whistle, so I had my daughter record it. My parakeets picked this up right away and reproduce it. They are working on the words. Since I have two birds this will take longer and be a little harder because, when there are two parakeets, they tend to bond with each other more than with their owner. However, when they hear the recordings, they start chattering between themselves and you can hear them working on the words. Repetition is important, but sometimes it is hard to find the time to do it. The Mimic Me takes care of that problem. It would be nice it were possible to record additional words using the second side of the recording machine. However since trainers recommend teaching only a few words at a time, this probably is not a big problem.

I was fairly happy with this mimic recorder, the recordings were not great but they worked. I noticed after about 2 weeks that the recording playback got shorter and didn't play as often as it was before. I then got distracted with all the Covid 19 stuff and put it aside. I tried it again today and it didn't work at all. I replaced the batteries and it still didn't work, though maybe my batteries were old, opened a new package of batteries and tried again, still not working. I am so very disappointed and had high hopes that it would work. I am going to try to contact the company today and also ask for a refund so that I can find a different mimic recorder to work for me.

Best play back recording toy I was able to find so far! The sound is a little grainy, because it picks up any background noise like the air conditioner, so it doesn’t come out very clean, but still great! It plays the recording for a set of 12 times and then repeats that set every 10 or 15 minutes depending on the mode you choose. It comes with batteries.

I just received mine today. I will update my review if anything changes. It seems to work well, no problems with the unit I received. I recorded my voice to test it out, and it sounds very clear. There is a small amount of static sound in the recording, but not enough to complain about. Mine does not record a click at the end of the recording, as some other commenters have experienced. I'm excited to use it!

produit très bien! livraison rapide et conforme.

MY WIFE LOVES IT, KEEPS THE BIRD COMPANY AND TEACHES SOME WORDS WHEN NOBODY IS HOME.

Works well

Für den Preis kann man den mal ausprobieren. (Ich habe allerdings weit weniger bezahlt, als den jetzt bei Amazon angezeigten Preis) Ist mehr ein Gimmick. Die Aufnahmesequenz ist sehr kurz und der Ton ist nicht gut. Aber meine Papageien hören hin und sind für eine gewisse Zeit beschäftigt und das ist für mich die Hauptsache.
