Seagull Plush Toy

This cute California Gull is soft and fuzzy -- and it sings!

Grateful Utah residents chose this as their state bird because they saved the Mormons' crops from locusts in 1848. Without the large flocks of gulls to feed on the swarming insects, the settlers would have suffered starvation. California Gulls also feed on rodents, eggs, fish and garbage. They usually nest near freshwater lakes or marshes.

The lifelike design and detailing is the result of input from the National Audubon Society. [We hope not!! - this is actually a Ring-billed Gull, regardless of what the label says. We renamed this a "Seagull" so they would not be too embarrassed. Oh well, it is still a cute bird and it reminds us of walking on the beach.] The authentic bird song is from the world famous Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

This 5" plush toy complies with the Standard Consumers Safety Specifications on toy safety issued by the ASTM. All new materials; hand crafted; non-toxic; surface washable.
