OSTRICH (WB916B)

You won't find this fine fellow with his head stuck into a hole... at least, anytime soon. He knows that with his strong legs and fine feathers, he can beat any peacock in the Outback. Of course it helps that there no peacocks native to Australia! Rock his control from side to side to make him race across the stage. Or not. He is about 38 inches tall from his control to the bottom of his feet.

GREY CROWNED CRANE (WB914)

The Grey-Crowned crane is one of the best-known cranes in Africa. Their golden feathers make them look different from the rest of the crane family as do their short, fat beaks. They also are the only cranes that build nests in trees.

Grey-Crowned cranes can be found in all parts of Africa, from the coast to the southern tip and they are so important that they are even the national bird of Uganda. This beautiful marionette is easy to work and even more fun to see in action.

BABY BIRDS

On the left is our Baby Ostrich (WB316) and on the right is our Baby Grey Crowned Crane (WB314). Both are about 8 inches tall (18 inches from control to feet). Tipping the control from side to side makes them walk, run, jump... and everything but fly!. Click on the image for a more detailed picture.

LARGE FLAMINGO MARIONETTES

These big beautiful birds are 38 inches tall from the control to the bottom of the puppet's feet. They are available in Orange (WB922 shown at left), Pink (WB912) and Rainbow (WB920).

LARGE BALD EAGLE MARIONETTE (WB923)

This Large Bald Eagle Marionette is 38 inches tall from the control to the bottom of the puppet's feet... uh, talons. No longer bald, this particular eagle signed a lucrative advertising contract with a popular hair restorative company and the rest is history. He actually has black feathers but in the photograph he is shown just after a "Silver Diamond Hair Color Rinse" also used by the puppeteer. Just rock the control from side to side to make this majestic puppet spread it's wings... er dance around the floor.

SMALL CHICKENS

That's Nugget Hen (WB325) on the left and Rolex Rooster (WB324) on the right. Both are 8 inches tall (18 inches from control to feet). Tipping the control from side to side makes Nugget and Rolex walk, run, jump... and everything but fly!

SMALL BARNYARD BIRDS

At the left of this poultry trio is Darnold Duckling (WB328), Lucy Gosling (WB329) is in the middle, and on the side is Chick Little (WB326). All are 8 inches tall (18 inches from control to feet).
