Yes, it’s secured. This toy will blow your mind! It’s definitely a little heavier than I expected, but that’s an added bonus. The weight makes this toy more realistic to use and gives you a bit of a workout! It’s bigger than I expected! It’s also bigger than I expected, and this toy requires two hands if you want to get into different positions. The skeleton inside makes it easy to use and frankly more realistic because the toy doesn’t flap its wings. All in all, this product has paid for itself
