Wild Republic has entered into a partnership with the National Audubon Society to create a line of realistic looking plush beanbag birds. When this male European Starling is squeezed you will hear him sing an authentic song to defend his territory and attract a mate.

This common, non-native bird can be seen across much of the United States and Canada, particularly in cities and surrounding suburbs. Usually seen in large flocks, the starling forages in open areas for insects, seeds and grain. Its song can vary, and often imitates those of other birds. Nesting sites include cavities in many man-made structures. This bird also competes with woodpeckers for tree hole nesting sites.
