EUGY Parrot

Parrots are the only birds that eat with their feet the sort of fact you’ll be repeating for weeks once you’ve read it in the instructions. The EUGY Parrot packs all that tropical swagger into a palm-sized model you glue together in number order, and it comes out looking far better than folded card has any right to.

Ages 6+ Builds in about 1020 minutes

What’s in the box

• Pre-cut, numbered card slices in recyclable, biodegradable card nothing to cut out yourself
• A pot of non-toxic glue, so the build starts the moment the box opens
• Illustrated step-by-step instructions with parrot fun facts tucked in along the way

How it builds

• Glue each numbered slice to the last and the bird simply appears in your hands
• A proper screen-free wind-down for kids, and oddly soothing for adults too
• Designed in New Zealand, part of a Red Dot Design Award-winning range

Finished, it perches on the bookshelf like a splash of jungle among the paperbacks.

Straight up: it’s card and glue, and it’s brilliant. Grow the flock with the full EUGY range, or read our take on why these builds beat screen time.
