Our own catalogue had this one filed under the crocodile for a while, which is a small thing but the sort of small thing worth admitting to. It is the cockatoo, one of the characters in Red Dingo's Durables range, and it shares the build, the weight and the guarantee with everything else in that line. Only the bird is different, and the underlying record still carries the old name in places.

The Durables name is Red Dingo's hard-wearing line rather than a marketing flourish. It is assembled with solid hardware and materials meant to take everyday use, finished to stay comfortable against a dog, and covered by the brand's five-year guarantee. On a product with this little published detail, that guarantee is the single most useful fact available, because it is the manufacturer accepting the cost of being wrong about how long it lasts.

• Cockatoo character from Red Dingo's Durables range
• Solid hardware and hard-wearing materials
• Covered by Red Dingo's five-year guarantee
• Weighs 150g
• One option, with no size or colour to choose
• Shipped tracked to the UK, with 14-day returns

Two things worth knowing. The manufacturer's description of the range also reads as walking-gear copy while this is listed as a toy, and until they clarify it we will keep saying so.

Who it's for: Red Dingo buyers who want the bird, and anyone who would rather a shop admitted a catalogue slip than quietly tidied it away.
