great item
September 1, 2012
"we have been buying little people sets for 12 years for all of our children. they are a lot of fun and are good quality toys. I dont know why people leave bad reviews for one item that was purchased bent, it could be taken back to the store and exchanged or you could contact customer service about it. I personaly havent received any damaged items over the years and have purchased at least 10 sets."

Cute and Works Perfectly!
May 3, 2012
"We have most of the zoo talker animals and our ostrich works great, if not better than some of the other animals. The sound it makes is also one of the more fun and interesting ones. I'm guessing the problems in the other reviews must have been due to a bad batch or have been corrected."

Ostrich Has a Few Problems
March 7, 2012
"We bought the Zoo Talkers zoo and quite a few animals, including the ostrich, for my nephew's first birthday. When I tested the animals ahead of time, the other animals worked beautifully, but I could not get the ostrich to "talk" at all, no matter how I wiggled, cleaned, or readjusted it on the zoo's peg.
After reading several other reviews here, I followed the suggested link to Fisher Price customer service. They were absolutely wonderful! They apologized and immediately sent me a replacement ostrich, along with a postage paid return label to ship back the defective one. Unfortunately, the replacement ostrich did not work either, but I called customer service again and the representative was again very nice, apologized repeatedly, and offered me a choice of the other animals she had in stock as a replacement. (Luckily, she had one that I had not yet purchased, which--when it arrived--worked great.) She also sent me another free return label to send back the second ostrich.
In short, the ostrich is really cute, but has some problems, which Fisher Price is clearly attempting to solve. I look forward to trying another ostrich in the future, after they've had a chance to make some adjustments."

Disappointed

"I bought this Ostrich for my Granddaughter and had
to return it as well. She was so disappointed and we cannot find the animals in the local stores. I would
not have bought this product if I knew it would be so
hard to get the animals. I found only the ostrich and had to return anyway."

Doesn't work
January 28, 2012
"Our Ostrich is cute, but he doesn't work. The base is bent out of shape and does not sit flat, so it makes it very difficult to fit on the sound mechanism. When you do get him on, he doesn't set off the sounds. What a bummer!"

Doesn't work
January 28, 2012
"I recently purchased most of the animals for the zoo, including the jeep with the animals, so my daughter has almost all of these toys. They all are fantastic and she is crazy about them. SHE loves them, but I am disappointed that two of the animals don't work at all (the orangutan and the ostrich) and one of them doesn't work very well (the elephant says polar bear sometimes and elephant sometimes). I think the problem is that it is somewhat distorted on the bottom of the animals that don't work very well and they have a hard time making proper contact with the dots to activate it. She really loves them though, and all of my kids play with it together, ages 1-11 (especially the two little ones) and I will continue to buy these as they come out with new ones to add to her zoo. I can't wait to get her the new train for Easter! My sister also had the same problem with the orangutan and ostrich, but the others for her daughter worked fine, so I think it is likely something common for these two animals."

Not up to usual FP standards
January 11, 2012
"My granddaughter got the Zoo Talkers and many of the animals for Christmas. She loves the toy itself, but the ostrich did not work when placed on the "talking button". There must have been a production glitch."

It doesn't work!
January 5, 2012
"We have quite a few of the Zoo Talkers, which we had to buy after the holiday season this year. My son really loves playing with them. We found the ostrich and bought one, it didn't work! We exchanged it at the store and the new one doesn't work either! Very disappointing, my son really loves hearing and mimicking the different animal sounds. We noticed the bottom of the ostrich seems not to be molded properly, like there is a defect in the plastic which doesn't allow it to sit on the red button very easily. We will be returning this one as well, hopefully the next animal we exchange it for works!"
