OSTRICH (2872)

The flightless ostrich is the world's largest bird. They roam African savanna and desert lands and get most of their water from the plants they eat. Though they cannot fly, ostriches are fleet, strong runners. They can sprint up to 43 miles an hour and run over distance at 31 miles an hour. Our Hand Puppet Ostrich is 17 inches tall and a tad slower. Click on the image to see a larger, more detailed picture.

Annie is always looking for interesting things to eat that don't get stuck half-way down in her throat. Her problem is, of course, a very big beak and a rather slim neck. She is 10 inches tall and would much rather "talk your ear off" than "hide her head in the sand!"

With his built-in aerodynamics, you would think that Cheep would make an excellent Airline Pilot. Unfortunately, his fear of heights forced him to set his career goals a little lower.  Sadly, his attempt to captain a submarine was short-lived because of his fear of depths.  Forced to keep his talons firmly on the ground, Cheep is now in charge of a privately-funded research group dedicated to the study and elimination of squeaky wheels on shopping carts. Cheep is 12 inches tall and will not moult!

TWO-HANDED CHICKEN (2861)

Charlie Chicken always wanted to be a TV stand-up comic... ever since he was a little chick in the yard. He practiced telling jokes every day and got the hens giggling so much that they forgot to lay eggs.

The chickens did start laying eggs again and Charlie learned to to the breast stroke. You could say that Charlie's comedy career laid an egg. You could also say that chickens have wings and not hands. Well our Chicken Hand Puppet uses your hands as his wings and with his expressive beak can have you laughing in an instant.
