About Kiri:

Kiri the Kiwi is the first in the New Zealand Wildlife Collection. Kiri is a life sized kiwi with a simplified body shape to make it easy for all skill levels to create. Kiri is flightless and nocturnal bird but that doesn’t stop her from being cute and cuddly. Kiwi’s are close to New Zealander’s hearts as our national bird and hopefully Kiri can win your heart too.

Size: ~ 35 cm x 25 cm (excluding beak)
