I wonder why this is always broken?

[Waylah]

I can see pretty clearly why the sticks on the aquarium fish are almost always broken, as are the pegs on the various tree branches, but does anyone know why the feet on the jungle bunch parrot are just about ALWAYS broken? I think I have about 6. And I've seen it on others' sets too. But I haven't noticed the same thing with the other, very similar parrot feet. I wonder why . . .

I have a broken feet parrot from that set. Definitely noticed the same weirdness with the birds!

I don't have the Jungle Bunch but my childhood friend's parrot's feet broke, too! She glued it onto the perch.

And I don't know how you managed to do it, Waylah, but when you sent me the Bobbing Fish they were all fine! One came off in transit but it wasn't broken, and Hubs just glued it back into the aquarium.

I broke mine when I was a kid. I was trying to put the bird on the pertch and i guess it wasn't exactly straight, so when I pushed it on the pertch the feet snaped. I remember gluing them more than once, but re breaking them as well. I still have my childhood set and the birds feet are broken
