Dustin the Turkey will now compete in the first Eurovision semi-final on Tuesday 20 May.
The final takes place on Saturday 24 May.
Bookies William Hill have installed Dustin the Turkey as the 10-1 favourite to win Eurovision.
The company's spokesman, Tony Kenny, said: "These days you have to be either from the old Eastern Bloc or have a great gimmick to win Eurovision - and a singing turkey will possibly be one of the most bizarre things that a Eurovision audience will ever see."
