Great news for all bird enthusiasts! Wild Republic has entered into a partnership with the National Audubon Society to create a line of realistic looking plush beanbag state birds. This partnership also includes The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, who has provided the authentic sounds for each bird to further add to the realism of these plush toys.

This Rhode Island Red's call was recorded September 27, 1959 in Hawaii, U.S.A. and was a male song to attract a mate.

Rhode Island's state bird is a domestic breed of chicken. The breed was actually developed in Rhode Island by a local farmer and has enjoyed an excellent reputation for the last century or more. Today, the breed is popular throughout much of the world. The male, or cock, is bigger than the hen and has bright red head feathers and green-blue tail feathers.
