At around 28 inches, this stuffed great blue heron has the fluffiest body with gray wings, a vibrant orange bill, and the distinctive black markings above each eye like the most stylish of eyebrows! With a long, gracefully curved neck with additional black markings, the Handcrafted 28 Inch Lifelike Great Blue Heron Stuffed Animal by Hansa is also blessed with long, slim legs in a peachy shade, with large, similarly colored feet. As part of the ‘Portraits in Nature’ collection, the Handcrafted 28 Inch Lifelike Great Blue Heron Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been created using portraits taken in the bird’s natural environment and has been painstakingly crafted by artisans to ensure heirloom quality. Hand sewn inside out to minimize seams, this great blue heron stuffed animal has also been stuffed by hand and sculpted to mimic her musculature and unique form.

Hansa stuffed animals are as lifelike as stuffed animals can be because each animal is carefully designed using significant research and actual portraits of the animal in its natural habitat. Hansa’s goal in being so exact in the creation of their stuffed animals is to educate children and adults about the animals’ lives and to help increase the understanding and appreciation of these amazing creatures and of our co-existence with them. Each stuffed animal is hand sewn using an old world ‘inside-out’ method to minimize the visibility of the seams. Each stuffed animal’s face is hand-finished and airbrushed to give it a truly unique appearance and the body is also carefully sculpted to create realistic features. These true-to-life stuffed animals look great in dens, offices, and display cases and also make excellent playmates. Every piece comes with an educational tag describing, in detail, the animal’s habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young and eating habits. All Hansa stuffed animals meet or exceed all U.S. and European safety standards and are recommended for ages three and up. We suggest gentle surface washing for Hansa stuffed animals.
