Star showing by stuffed kiwi

If Alan isn't up to using needle and thread am a dab hand at sowing lol might not be neat but at least they stay together.

Only if you decorate it with a snowy owl. How good are you with needle and thread?

There's hope for my old stuffed pillow then !

I Googled Raggiana John and I think you may be right, although there looks to be a lot of variation in plumage.

The 2 unidentified look very similar to Raggiana  bird of Paradise
