Product Details

This cosy is unusual – it's tail hides the handle of the pot and the spout is covered by the bird's removable head. Note: you need a teapot with a reasonable length of spout – stubby little spouts won't work with this one.

For those who don't know: a scrub turkey (sometimes called a brush turkey) is a large mound building bird, found in eastern Australia. It is the bane of all gardeners – it's aim is to scrape all of your garden into one place, in the form of a huge mound in which to lay it's eggs. I know someone who came back from a weekend away, to find all her back garden beds in a 6 foot heap on her back lawn! Because of this endearing habit, it is very satisfying to rip off the scrub turkey's head in order to pour your tea! (Apologies to bird lovers – I didn't mean it really!)
