A plush that plays a real recorded bird call, not a generic chirp, is what separates this from a typical stuffed animal. The Audubon II Singing Plush Bird - Blue Jay sings an authentic Blue Jay call sourced from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology every time it's gently squeezed.
How Does the Birdcall Feature Work?
Squeezing the plush triggers an authentic Blue Jay call recorded by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, rather than a generic or synthesized chirp. The page doesn't specify whether the mechanism inside is battery-powered or a purely mechanical squeeze box, just that a gentle squeeze is what activates it.
Why Collect More Than One Bird in This Series?
This Blue Jay is one entry in the Audubon Birds and Squirrels collection, a line built around matching real bird and squirrel species to their actual calls and detailed, species-accurate designs. The collection is positioned around building out multiple species rather than owning just one.
How Big Is This Plush?
The plush stands 5 inches tall, a size made for a stocking, a desk, or a shelf rather than a large display piece. The product page doesn't specify fabric or stuffing materials beyond describing the detailed, species-accurate design.
Who This Plush Is For
- Kids who are curious about birds and enjoy interactive, sound-making toys
- Gift buyers looking for a stocking stuffer with more substance than a generic plush
- Birders or nature lovers who'd appreciate an accurate birdcall over a toy sound effect
- Anyone starting or adding to an Audubon Birds and Squirrels collection
