An eccentric taxidermist has branched out to work with birds by creating a series of bobble head toys - from real chicks.

Jack Devaney, 25, has added to his catalogue of wacky creations that already include a rabbit toaster, a rat pencil case, and magnetic mice, which he sells through his company The World Around Ewe.

He has fans around the world, and to keep them interested Jack, from Plymouth, is always coming up with new ideas.

And he has now announced the latest addition to his range made from the heads of real chicks.

Jack, of Plymouth, Devon, said: "They're little bobble heads made from baby chicken heads, from day old chicks.

"They sell them for feeding to hawks or snakes, they're sold frozen and I defrost them and turn them into ornaments.

"I've started branching out into birds, the chicks are difficult to work with but I've also made a Chicken MacNugget - magnetic chicken heads that you can stick on the fridge.

"I think of the bobble heads as a bit of an anti-theft device, they're made for cars and maybe if a thief saw one he'd think twice about robbing your car.

"It might put a few people off if you have dead animals in your car."

Jack said he enjoyed working with the chickens and he was learning new skills which would later be useful.

He added: "These are the most difficult to work on, I've jumped in at the deep end in the hope that when I start working with pigeons it will be much easier."
