MUST be a bird or bird-related. Can be any type of gift. Thanks!
Best answer: My 4.5 yr old grandkid still loves the stuffed bird with authentic bird call I gave her a couple of years ago. Like this.

Best answer: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus - read aloud of a book, so you can see what you'd be getting.
Maybe a puppet, although many of the puppets I think look toddler friendly are technically recommended for 3 and up.

Best answer: A soft plush kākāpō, of which only 247 remain in the wild. A bumbling large flightless parrot with bags of charisma , this version

has a moveable head and a recording of its natural calls in its wing.

Best answer: Mel Fell by Corey Taber is a wonderful book about a Kingfisher bird. The book uses inventive layout to describe the birds experience.

Best answer: My kids loved the book Owl Babies by Martin Waddell. Not a toy, but the Singing Bird Clock in my son’s Montessori classroom was a popular item. We had to get one for home because he never got to hear the birds that sang at 4,5,6, and 7 o’clock. Might not be of interest to a 2 year old though.

Best answer: I immediately wondered if there was a sound book for toddlers with different bird sounds. Turns out, there is!

Best answer: Lakeshore learning birds with tree blocks
Learning Resources bird hiding and counting toy
It’s discontinued, but you can still find a boxed LEGO DUPLO My First Bird
My daughter actually had this one… I can’t say it was a huge hit with her, but she was never so into birds: Plush bird house and birds “sorter” toy
Seconding the Folkmanis finger puppets
