Soft Toys with Bird Calls

These cute plush toys are soft to play with and cuddle. And when you squeeze them they make real bird sounds!

The Kiwi is a unique bird - it cannot fly, shaggy brown feathers, strong legs and no tail. It is recognisable by its very long beak which it uses to find food with. It is an international icon of New Zealand and unofficial national emblem.

Tui are known for their striking melodies incorporating croaks and squeaks, and they are talented mimics of other birds’ calls. This soft toy looks like the real bird with its white throat tufts, brownish back and white flecked shawl.

The Little Blue Penguin or Korora are small and typically only grow to 43cm and weigh 1 kilo. Korora live in large colonies and remain faithful to their partners once breeding commences at 3 or 4 years of age. From May to June, when birds are pairing up and sorting out nests, they are very noisy. By day little penguins are out at sea, fishing and feeding, or in their burrows roosting, moulting or tending eggs or chicks. They are rarely seen on land, and generally only come ashore under the cover of darkness.

The soft toys stand about 15cms tall and make fabulous gifts. Recommended for 3.
