Handcrafted 12.8 Inch Lifelike Ostrich Stuffed Animal by Hansa

As the biggest and heaviest bird in the world, the ostrich cuts an impressive figure, and the Handcrafted 12.8 Inch Lifelike Ostrich Stuffed Animal by Hansa really brings that majesty to life. At around 12.8 inches, this plush ostrich has the same black and white coloring associated with the ‘common ostrich’, with a fluffy black body, white tail feathers (and a collar to match), and long pale legs to match her elegantly curved neck. Made from a specially designed plush fabric to resemble the texture and appearance of feathers, the Handcrafted 12.8 Inch Lifelike Ostrich Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been hand stitched inside out for minimal seaming and is made from dozens of hand cut pieces that all come together to create an ultra-realistic animal. Filled by hand and then molded to recreate the perfect shape, this stuffed ostrich is finished with airbrushed detailing for a lifelike appearance, and even comes with an informational hang tag to tell you some important facts about these huge birds. Of course, such a big bird will need a big nest, and an ostrich’s nest can measure up to 10 feet across; thankfully, the Handcrafted 12.8 Inch Lifelike Ostrich Stuffed Animal by Hansa needs a more modest home and will fit perfectly on a shelf as part of a display, or in your arms if you’re looking for a feathered friend to keep you company.

Hansa stuffed animals are as lifelike as stuffed animals can be because each animal is carefully designed using significant research and actual portraits of the animal in its natural habitat. Hansa’s goal in being so exact in the creation of their stuffed animals is to educate children and adults about the animals’ lives and to help increase the understanding and appreciation of these amazing creatures and of our co-existence with them. Each stuffed animal is hand sewn using an old world ‘inside-out’ method to minimize the visibility of the seams. Each stuffed animal’s face is hand-finished and airbrushed to give it a truly unique appearance and the body is also carefully sculpted to create realistic features. These true-to-life stuffed animals look great in dens, offices, and display cases and also make excellent playmates. Every piece comes with an educational tag describing, in detail, the animal’s habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young and eating habits. All Hansa stuffed animals meet or exceed all U.S. and European safety standards and are recommended for ages three and up. We suggest gentle surface washing for Hansa stuffed animals.
