Advantages: Great for teaching children different skills Disadvantages: too cuddly, you can't put him down
Woody came to join our household last Easter when we bought him for our son. He is delightful and always receives lots of attention from all ages who meet him.
*** WHAT IS HE? ***
Well he is a cuddly toy, a workman (joiner), and a teacher? what? Yes a teacher, he comes with lots of different items on his body to teach children fine motor skills such as dressing, tying a shoe lace, fastening a button, etc. Best of all, he never says a word!!! He is suitable for children over 12 months of age.
*** COLOUR SCHEME ***
Woody is really colourful. His overall body is pale pink and he has a huge big smile on his face. He is blonde and wears a red peaked cap with a yellow badge on. He has a royal blue overall with white turn-ups and an orange utility belt that has a yellow buckle. Under his overalls he has a pale blue shirt ...
Advantages: look good smell good taste good Disadvantages: contain sugar...not the best treat to feed
he resembled a plucked chicken, couple of months on he was looking much better.
Whilst nowhere near as nutritious as egg-food theses biscuits still make a good treat in addition to a birds regular diet, contents do include 33% fresh egg which gives them a fair protein content. Good if you have a picky parrot as they will easily be tempted into trying these biscuits.
Packaging + Directions
Shaws Egg Biscuits come in a yellow box, which is clearly 'labelled' and easy to find in most pet-shops - see photo of box. Upon opening you will find 5 biscuits in a plastic wrapper all in their own little cases.
Personally I don't follow all the instructions which state " Place biscuit on bottom of birds cage, for young birds grind up biscuit and add to food. Store in a cool dry place." Well storage is obvious as these are ...
Advantages: Brilliant and Original Compositions Disadvantages: A Bit Rough around the Edges For Modern Tastes
BRIEF (ISH) INTRO TO WOODY
Now most people have heard of Woody Allen and some people may have heard of Woody Woodpecker - but who the heck is, or was, Woody Guthrie?
Born in 1912 in Oklahoma, Woodrow Guthrie was, probably, the most respected of the American protest folk singers of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. In fact you could say he was the protest singers? protest singer! Remember Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Donovan, Pete Seeger and the rest? Well, Woody Guthrie was the inspiration behind all of them. More recently, Bruce Springsteen has also seen fit to worship at the shrine of Guthrie.
Bob Dylan, in particular, hailed Guthrie as a hero and went to great pains to visit ?The Legend? as he lay dying in hospital. If you recall the ?talking? and ?rambling? style of Bob Dylan, then you?ve actually heard a (not too clever) version of Woody ...
