Home-making stuffed toys has at least one big advantage: it allows for that irreplaceable ‘personal touch’ of craziness. The animals (and other creatures) can be exactly as strange and wonderful as you want.

Ask Pat at Piggles and Pebbles (http://www.etsy.com/shop/pigglyandpebbles?ref=seller_info). She’s the artist behind the bird and should be able to answer your question.
