Backyard Bird Series 2

Wild Republic Audubon Bird Backyard Bird Series Two.

Wild Republic's Audubon Birds Series has been produced for about 20 years. They first appeared on the scene in 2000. The original birds had velcro openings so when the batteries died, you could change them out. But just a few years later, the company decided to prevent the buyer from changing the batteries. The little button cell batteries that are used last about a year. Once the bird stops singing, the buyer would either try to figure out how to open the bird and change the batteries or just buy a new bird. The bird originally sold for about $6.50, they now sell for about $15.00 on average.

These little plush birds are 6 to 8 inches long and sing their own particular song when squeezed.They are made by Wild Republic in partnership with the Audubon Society. The bird sound recordings are made by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. You can find them on our sponsor's website for sale for only $11.75.

There have been many different series of Wild Republic Audubon Birds. See them all below. Many of the original styles have been retired. The more common styles are still being made:
