Glenn the Red Kite

£31.00

Swooping into the menagerie for Autumn 2023 is the majestic Glenn the Red Kite! A gorgeous mixture of browns and greys, this woolly version of the red kite bird is easily identified by his distinctive forked tail. Did you know that red kites were much more common in the UK back in medieval times, and have been referenced several times in Shakespeare's plays?
