The Shining Stars Ostrich is an official Shining Stars Friend identifiable by the crystal like star icon and embroidered Shining Stars logo on the paw pad. Each Shining Stars Friend includes a secret code found inside the laminated tamper resistant hangtag which will give you access to the Shining Stars Website where you can register and name your own star with the International Star Registry. The name will be officially recorded in book form with the United States Copyright office. The website will show an image and the coordinates of your star which can be printed on a certificate that verifies its exact location in the cosmos. But there's more... for children of all ages, the website is a virtual universe where they can send ecards, play games designed for different age groups and find a galaxy of fun activities.
