Pukeko
Pukeko!
Pukeko at roughly 13" sitting (not including legs), with lightly weighted butt and arms with polypellets.
Pukeko has much longer leggies than my usual birds, and their feet and beak details are made with red polyfleece rather than my usual short minky due to supply issues. Pukekos body is a two toned midnight blue, with a bright deep blue underneath.
Batch of one made this drop
Pukekos are one of our fantastic wetland swamp birds, notoriously hated by most because they're kinda pests. Aka, they'll mess with your crops, and your grass, and pull up your seedlings then peck you in the face. They were born with all of the sass and none of the fear of humans, and honestly I love them for it.
*All plush made by me are art dolls! As they're handmade they're friends for child hearted adults or big kids who understand Gentle-Special-Thing, but please not for small kids or pets in case someone thinks an eyeball looks real tasty.
🌟Allergy disclaimer🌟
I have a dog (sweet noodledog who you may be familiar with)
While she comes nowhere near my fabrics or finished pieces, and I lint roll every friend before they get shipped off to get rid of any loose minky fabric dander from the making process - she oversees me working from her own special couch at the end of my studio. Because of this, I am only comfortable disclosing there's a dog in my home for those who may be highly allergic!
*Similarly, if you would like noodle to sniff-bless your friend before they get packed off to you, just mention this in your order notes and this can be arranged.
