Meet the cheeky duo Pitaya the Toucan and Kiwi the Parrot, who love to cause mischief wherever they go.
These tropical birds have a colourful plumage to attract attention and make new friends. This tropical duo follow the same pattern for most pieces, but use different colours to make a parrot and toucan toy. The green parrot has a rainbow head crest, and the blue toucan has a brightly striped beak.
