Our Birdwing butterfly plush was custom made for us in recognition of Butterfly Pavilion's international work in Sumatra, Indonesia where we work with a local group to raise these endangered butterflies. We then sell them to other organizations as a part of conservation efforts and the money that is generated returns to Butterfly Pavilion’s mission, pays Indonesian workers, or goes into ecosystem conservation to support rhino, elephant, and tiger conservation!
This Birdie the Birdwing butterfly plush is 17" from wing tip to wing tip and 6.5" from abdomen tip to top of head!. It features embroidered eyes so it is safe for babies, and it's coloring directly mimics that of Ornithoptera alexandrae, the Queen Alexandra's birdwing.
You may find "cousins" of Birdie in our Wings of the Tropics experience as we have recently received our first import of Troides helena, the common birdwing, from Sumatra.
