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

Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula) are common in open fields, farmlands and suburban areas across eastern and central North America. They gather in large noisy flocks to roost and feed, often foraging on the ground for seeds and grain. These birds also eat insects, small rodents and the eggs of other birds. Nests are usually placed in trees or shrubs.
