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 Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher's call was recorded May 8, 1993 in Edwards City, Texas, USA, and was a song to defend territory and attract a mate.

Oklahoma's state bird, the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is also found in Texas and other neighboring states. Identified by their long, scissor-like tails, these fancy fliers are capable of mid-air somersaults and zigzag flight. Though they may sleep or migrate in large flocks, they are usually seen alone during daylight hours. They dine on flies and insects, usually caught in mid-air.
