I purchased this item recently and I agree with others who have commented. The little bird is not attached to the bowl but does have a short metal post that is inserted onto a hole on the bowl. My bird also was wobbly as the post is a little smaller than the hole in the bowl. I wrapped some teflon tape on the post and now the bird fits snugly but not too tight. You would think that the manufacturer would have added a small piece of tubing or something else to use on the post so that the bird would be stationary.
