EZ Birds are dog training tools designed to closely mimic the anatomy and coloration of real birds, thereby providing an invaluable resource for enhancing the hunting and retrieving skills of sporting dogs. These training dummies are constructed from durable materials that withstand the rigors of training sessions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The unique design features of EZ Birds, such as the VGrip tooth locks, promote a superior hold, reducing the likelihood of the dummy being dropped or mishandled by the dog during retrieval exercises. Additionally, the soft floating head design is specifically engineered to prevent injuries such as broken teeth, making these dummies a safer choice for intensive training. The inclusion of a Long Throw™ Knob in models like the Avery® Sporting Dog EZ Bird Pintail Training Bird simplifies the process of throwing the dummies over long distances, enabling trainers to simulate more challenging retrieval scenarios. Available in various species imitations, including pintails, pheasants, and mallards, EZ Birds offer versatility in training, allowing dogs to acclimate to the appearance and feel of different game birds they might encounter in the field. This variety not only prevents dogs from becoming complacent but also enriches their training experience by exposing them to a range of retrieval situations. Whether you're training a young pup or honing the skills of an experienced retriever, EZ Birds serve as an essential tool in preparing your canine companion for successful and ethical hunting endeavors.
