Frequently Asked Questions

Metabird

The MetaBird seems to be delicate and fragile, how should I handle it?
The product has been tested to last over hundreds of flight cycles and it is manufactured with materials that are both flexible and robust. Its lightness is actually an asset when impacting with obstacles. so there is no risk of damaging the bird if it hits a wall or the ground, even at full speed. However, it’s still a high-tech product and should be handled with care when it’s not flying. Avoid grasping the bird by its wings or its tail and hold it by its foam body instead. Be careful to keep the wings from hitting other objects while handling the bird. Never leave it rest with weight bearing on its wings, underneath another object or directly exposed to the sun for long periods.
Can I allow my children to play with the MetaBird?
Yes, it they are more than ten-years old. If not, it’s not advisable to let a young child handle Bionic Bird. It’s a high-tech product that doesn’t meet the safety requirements for toys. However, we guarantee your children will be delighted by the show of Bionic Bird in flight!
