These beautiful songsters are common throughout much of the United States. They are usually found near open fields, roadsides or streams, and make their nests in trees or bushes. Their strong bills are well adapted for breaking open nuts and seeds, but they also feed on a variety of insects. Wild Republic has partnered with Audubon to create this line of genuine plush birds. Each bird's lifelike design and detailing is the result of input from Audubon. In addition, the authentic sound in each bird has been provided by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and represents hours, months and even years of extensive fieldwork conducted by expert recordists. These Audubon Birds in this series vary in size but generally measure approximately 5 to 7 inches long.
