With its movable beak, this Raven puppet will crow "Nevermore!" from the treetops until the dawn breaks or your fingers get tired. A prevalent figure in folktales, legends, stories and fairy tales, this bird makes a good storytelling companion.
Movable mouth and wings. Wing pockets for extra movement
FACTS OF INTEREST
Ravens belong to the Crow family (Corvidae), along with jays, magpies and crows. They are found throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
Ravens can grow to 25 inches long. They are the largest songbird, and can produce 30 different sounds.
Ravens are the most intelligent species of bird, testing on par with some of our closest primate relatives. They can make simple tools and use them to retrieve food. They also appear to be compulsive collectors of objects that interest them.
Ravens are omnivores. They hunt small mammals and will scavenge anything edible, including groceries left in a pickup truck!
Realistic plushes always get my attention, and this one was not different. The market is so full of cute little animals (cats, dogs and the like) that finding a realistic-looking bird was a surprise.
This raven is quite big; you can insert almost half arm inside. Your fingers can work the beak and the wings. It has big round purple and black eyes, and it's very soft despite its appearance.
However, you can't prop it to stand like the picture shows. The feet are not wired (therefore, they bend). But you can make it "sit".
A must for any Poe fan!!

I ordered this for my language classroom. It is a beautifully made puppet, seems to be very durable, and I think I will get a lot of use out of it. It arrived in a very timely fashion, too. I recommend it!

This puppet is much nicer than it photographs in his picture! He is large, black and furry...Lots of personality...I call him Russell. I think any puppeteer would love this crazy bird.
