Title: What type of long billed bird is this
Post by: user9318 on June 22, 2015, 10:04:18 AM

I have no clue what type of bird this and wouldn't even know where to start.

Thank you for any help in advance.

First thought was a kiwi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi - the stance is very much like the one on the left in this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi#/media/File:Three_kiwi_species_models_in_Auckland_museum.jpg - what do you reckon?  :x-fingers:

Yea, it is a Kiwi, I found who the maker was and that's what they made, new Zealand Kiwi souvenirs. Thank you.
