Pear-shaped and nocturnal, this flightless bird features hair-like feathers, strong legs, tiny wings, and a long beak with nostrils at the tip. Often called an “honorary mammal,” the Kiwi uses its remarkable sense of smell to forage for insects and worms along the forest floor. This endangered species is cherished not only as a national icon, but also by those committed to protecting and preserving the natural world. With soft plush fabric, velour accents, and lifelike movement through the head and foot pockets, this puppet captures the spirit of the Kiwi and invites hours of imaginative play.
SIZE: 14" Long x 6" Wide x 10" Tall
