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 Downy Woodpecker is squeezed you will hear him sing an authentic song to defend his territory and attract a mate.

This is the smallest woodpecker found in North America. It is common throughout much of the United States and Canada, and can often be seen around dead trees or telephone poles. Like other woodpeckers, it taps its beak like a drum as a territorial display. It eats a variety of insects and their larvae, and some berries and seeds. Birdfeeders with suet or peanut butter also attract this woodpecker.
