Percy the Platypus Delivers the Mail

Percy the platypus grins wide as he hurries down the path, letters tucked safely in his bag and one clutched in his webbed hand. His mail carrier hat sits slightly askew on his head and his bright eyes shine with excitement. Every feather and fold in his jacket looks ready for a busy day of delivering smiles.

Percy’s tail swings behind as he steps with a spring in his webbed feet. One flipper peeks out from his sleeve as he carries envelopes neatly stuffed in his satchel. His bill curls into a happy smile, and he seems to almost skip along, proud to share special messages with friends.

Fun Fact!

This nesting burrow of a platypus has soft bedding made of leaves and grass and can have plugs of soil to block the entrance from predators or floods.
