Do you know this duck (puppet)?

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a long while. I have several ideas, and one of these days.... In the meantime, I am looking for a puppet that I believe was produced in 2000.

This puppet has a non-moveable mouth. The wings are operated by the pinky and thumb, and the other three fingers fit inside the head, with the hand entering the puppet from "below." Beak and feet are orange.

The duck's left wing has a Steiff-like button and a yellow ribbon. The centre of the button says "2000", and the word "millenium" is circled around the outside of the circle. A white tag on the inside indicates that the puppet meets the material safety requirements of Ontario, Canada.

I don't know the height of the puppet, but it fits an adult hand comfortably and allows most of the forearm into the puppet.

If you know who made this duck and/or where one is available for sale, please post here, and thanks for your help!
