These migrating shorebirds are Piping Plovers! You can see these little guys on the east coasts of north America running up and down with the waves to catch their food in the sand. Be careful on the beaches that are roped off, as they are protected areas for plovers to lay their eggs! Be respectful and keep your distance from this threatened species.
This little family of plover plushies all have long legs to wade in the water, and the babies are especially fluffy!
About The Piping Plover
The Adult Plover is made with a layered white and grey fabric, and details created with fabric ink. This specific coloration showcases their summer coat when trying to find a mate!
The Plover Chick is made with a fluffy faux fur fabric that is colored with alcohol inks to dye the fabric the muted grey and browns of their baby feathers. their beak is all black, as it turns orange when they mature.
Both plushies have a set of safety eyes on the sides of their head for maximum cuteness.
Plush Details
Their optic lobe is twice the size of other species, explaining their large cute eyes and their acute senses when it comes to hunting under the sand for tiny crustaceans and marine worms.
