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 Yellow Eyed Penguin or Hoiho are shy penguins, hiding their nests in dense vegetation. But their shrill call is attention-grabbing – giving them their te reo Māori name, which means 'noise shouter'.  Unfortunately they are one of the rarest penguins in the world with just 1,700 pairs remaining. 

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