Answer explanation

The Furby is an electronic toy created by Tiger Electronics in 1998. The toy was produced until 2000, and in that time became one of the most popular toys of the era. The Furby is a strange creature, not unlike an owl in appearance. It has a number of different parts that can move, giving it a semblance of life and emotion. The Furby begins its life-cycle speaking exclusively in a gibberish language known as Furbish, but over time, as it is interacted with more, it begins to speak more and more English and less Furbish. A Furby is able to interact with another Furby by means of an infrared port in its head. This allowed two Furbies to interact with each other.
