Feather-Crest Alert: This Cuddly Toy Hoopoe Will Land Straight in Your Heart  

Carl Dick Collection presents: The Fluffiest Hoopoe in the World – Available on Plueschtier.de  

Ever seen a bird that looks like a stylish punk rocker after a day trip to a paint factory? No? Then it's high time you did. This Cuddly Toy from the Carl Dick Collection brings Europe’s most extravagant bird straight to your sofa. The hoopoe – already the flashiest member of the bird world – has been transformed into a Plush Toy that looks like it has a subscription to the avian hairdresser and is so incredibly soft, even your sofa might get jealous.  

Bold, Bizarre, Absolutely Irresistible  

This Stuffed Animal is no run-of-the-mill bird – it’s a masterpiece of plush artistry. The hoopoe boasts a proud body length of 14 centimetres, topped by a 10 centimetre long tail feather that gives it more pomp than a peacock on the catwalk. With a width of 13 centimetres, it’s got a charming waddle-like look, and standing at 22 centimetres tall, it towers over your cuddly toy collection like a superstar. Its “plumage” is made from wonderfully soft acrylic, while the inside is filled with eco-friendly polyester fibres that deliver peak cuddle performance. The black safety eyes gaze out curiously at the world – as if to ask, “So, what kind of mischief are we up to today?”  

Who is this extravagant feathered friend?  

The real hoopoe, Latin name Upupa epops (no joke – that’s actually what it’s called), hails from the sunny open landscapes of Europe, Africa, and Asia. With its striking orange crown of feathers, it’s a true fashion icon, and a passionate insect hunter to boot. Its signature move: using its long, curved beak to drill into the ground like a miniature treasure hunter in search of tasty bites. But what really makes it special? This bird looks like a bored artist threw it at a rainbow in a burst of creative genius.  

Need some playtime inspiration? Absolutely

Whether it’s acting as a royal observer at a picnic in the park, the guardian of a pillow-built bird castle, or the fluffiest flight captain in a Stuffed Animal jet – this hoopoe turns every day into a safari in the playroom. Let it swoop through the skies, hunt for treasure, or serve as a judge at the Plush Toy talent show. And don’t forget: it always judges based on hairstyle.  

And if the hoopoe suddenly started to talk?  

It would probably say, “Beak open – the party starts now.” Whether it’s your secret TV companion, the voice of reason during cookie-related philosophical debates, or your emotional support bird after the toothbrushing meltdown – this bird is up for anything. Who knows, it might even awaken your own inner feathered friend.  

Green at Heart, Fluffy in Hand  

And the best part? This Stuffed Animal isn’t just a treat for the eyes and arms – it’s eco-conscious too. Its inner filling is made from recycled plastic – yes, really. Plastic bottles that once floated in the sea now enjoy a second life as super-soft stuffing. So this hoopoe isn’t just eye candy – it’s a shining example of sustainable cuddling.  

So if you’re wondering whether you really need another Cuddly Toy – no. You need this hoopoe. Because no other Plush Toy is this majestically mad.
