If I could I would give it a 3 and a half star.
The Pros-I like the release mechanism as it really stops the dove from escaping prematurely.
The news paper printed bag is good.
I used it in a kids show and it did the job.
The Cons-I was expecting a little better quality material coming from Bazar.
This just my personal opinion having worked with doves for the last 3-4 years; the material used to make the bag is crucial to how fast a dove is released out of the bag. The material on this is a bit rough I wish it were a bit silkier.
In my NEW routine I need it to release very quickly.
My recommendation would be spend a bit of extra money and get the better one BUT still for the price I'm glad I got it.
