Dustin the Turkey

Dustin the Turkey, is an Irish television puppet and star of RTE's The Den since 1989. A "turkey vulture" with a strong Dublin accent, Dustin is one of a handful of Irish puppet characters on Irish television and may be the most well-known of these, having achieved international recognition. Dustin joined The Den with puppets Zig and Zag, but remained with the show after their 1993 departure to Channel 4. He also outlasted four human co-hosts, all of whom moved to radio, Ian Dempsey, Ray D'Arcy, Damien McCaul and Francis Boylan Jr., making him the longest serving performer on The Den and one of Irish popular culture's iconic figures. Dustin has won many achievements, including a musical career with several chart-topping singles. On 23 February 2008, Dustin won the public vote to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song Irelande Douze Pointe but failed to progress past the first semi-final stage. In 2008 he was in London making an appearance on ITV talent contest X factor's extra show.

Dustin is voiced by John Morrison. [http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/news-gossip/dustin-in-a-flap-as-turkey-is-culled-early-1381614.html?start=2]
