Great news for all bird enthusiasts! Wild Republic has entered into a partnership with the National Audubon Society to create a line of realistic looking plush beanbag state birds. This partnership also includes The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, who has provided the authentic sounds for each bird to further add to the realism of these plush toys.

This Brown Pelican's call was recorded May 15, 1984 in Hemp Key, Florida, USA, and was a call used for group and family group coordination.

Brown Pelicans are the smallest of all pelican species, and at one time were an increasingly rare sight along eastern and southern coastlines. Like many birds, they were threatened by the cumulative damage of years of pesticides. Today, Louisiana's state bird has begun to recover its numbers and is more frequently seen gliding above coastal waters in search of its primary food, fish.
