“Vagabond Strays” ~ DODO BIRD ~ Miniature pull toy

This quirky miniature pull-along dodo bird is handmade of 100% high quality South-German/New Zealand Merino wool and Nepal lambswool in a natural melange of greyish browns or whites, yellow/beige and dark brown, using a solid sculptural needle felting technique built upon a wire armature, which makes his head gently poseable.
The dodo has brown glass eyes, a characteristic beak with the typical bulbous tip, small feathered wings, sturdy feet, and a fluffy feathered tail. He comes with his red “Vagabond Strays” signature bandana scarf, that was carefully tea-stained for that well-loved, well-worn look.

~ Available in greyish-brown or greyish-white - color choice at checkout ~

All “Vagabond Strays” pull-along animals are securely mounted on a hand painted and ever so gently distressed wooden base on *working* metal wheels, with a crochet pull cord tied to a small metal ring.

With the base included, a dodo stands approx 8.5 cm / 3.5 inches tall.
