The Snowy Plover can be found across North and South America, Eurasia and Africa. It is restricted to the Gulf and Pacific Coasts in North America. Snowy Plover populations are declining because where it lives and nests on beaches are often disrupted by human activity.
Photo #4-5 are piping plovers. Please message me if you are interested in a different plover than the Snowy Plover.
My Plovers have been needle felted, a time consuming process in which wool roving is repeatedly poked by a barbed needle, until the desired shape is formed. The adult is life size at approximately 6.5 inches in length and stands on sturdy wire feet which are covered also in wool. The eyes are made of glass.
This bird is custom made just for you once you make a purchase and payment is received. I usually ship within 2-3 weeks, but it depends on how many orders I have. Allow more time especially with multiple orders or during the busy holidays. During the Christmas rush I am overloaded with orders by the end of October, so please order early! See my shop announcement for holiday shipping estimates.
Please remember that these birds are not meant for small children.
A lovely review for this listing:I just wanted to let you know that the plovers arrived yesterday and they are perfect! My fiancee could not have been more delighted. Upon opening the package and seeing them, she immediately got all teary and "squeeful." That, of course, is the most sincere appreciation anyone might receive.
I also have a shop with my daughter which features her designs in enamel pins, plushies and all things cute:
