Folkmanis 2592 Amazon Parrot Puppet

My 5 year old loves parrots, after experiencing them in Mexico earlier this year. So I went on a quest to find a stuffed animal for him, and found this one. It has a tagger with it that explains the kind of parrot it is, along with a little folk story about the Amazon Parrot. In that respect, it is somewhat educational.
One drawback, though, and maybe I should have given this to my son before I reviewed it as being "durable". It is not as durable as I thought. He is 5 and gentle with toys, but some of the green fur on it tends to shed. It remains to be seen how durable it ends up being. It is very cute, however, and he's happy with it.
