A model of Berty from the Postbag from the Hedge
Berty is the house in which Baba Yaga lives and runs her shop. Admittedly most houses do not have names, however this house is surprisingly unique in that it is non-stationary. The house actually walks around on a pair of chicken legs.
In the 21st issue of Postbag from the Hedge, a model of Berty was given in which readers could actually print and make an papercraft style replica of Berty.[source needed]
Trivia

- Berty also resembles an imaginative monster from the PBSkids TV show Arthur who is a house that has legs.
- In Russian-Slavic mythology, Baba Yaga was a witch who lived in a house with fowl's feet, which Baba Yaga is based on.
