Owen the Orange Bellied Parrot
Owen the Orange Bellied Parrot
Owen is an Orange Bellied Parrot, incredibly endangered but full of hope!
Calling Melaleuca, Tasmania home for the summer he then takes the rather perilous journey across the Bass Strait to coastal Victoria and South Australia to keep his little toes warmer during the winter.
As one of the most endangered species in Australia, Owen marks the beginning of our 'friends of friends of the sea' collection, opening ourselves up to appreciate our pals who may not call the ocean home, but face a similar struggle to exist due to the destruction of their environment and humans being a bit crap.
Owen is made from primarily 100% Merino Wool felt, has a fluffy orange tum to pat and is stuffed with recycled PET derived from plastic bottles otherwise destined for landfill or our waterways. Each Owen repurposes the equivalent of 10 bottles.
His wings can be inverted to put him in 'flight mode' and move freely from the sides of his body for maximum flapping fun.
Safe for children of all ages.
