MEET THE BIRD

That beak makes the introductions.

A long bill, curved neck and feather detail give our Pelican its unmistakable outline. It stands on a short integrated base, ready for the top of a sturdy timber post or rail. Choose an open view and keep a reminder of the water in your everyday garden.

MADE FOR OUTDOORS

Steel that changes with the seasons

Made from unpainted 3 mm Corten weathering steel. Outdoors, the surface develops a rust-coloured patina. The colour and pace of change depend on exposure, rain and drying. Leave it unpainted and choose a spot where rust run-off will not stain pale paving, walls, pots or other surfaces. For an exposed coastal position, ask us for advice before choosing a spot.

INSTALLATION

Choose a perch. Tap it in.

Choose the top of a sturdy timber post or a suitable horizontal wooden rail, with enough room for the Pelican and its short integrated mounting spike. Choose suitable sound timber on a sturdy post, rail or wooden planter, with permission to install. Position the integrated mounting spike at a slight downward angle. Gently tap the thick end of the spike with a hammer or mallet until secure, never the bird itself. Check it is stable before letting go. Keep the sharp point and edges clear of children and walkways. Hammer not included. This timber-mounted design is not a loose-soil plant stake.

READY TO GIVE

A bird for someone you know.

For the jetty regular, the waterside walker, or the friend whose favourite holiday always ends near the sea. The Pelican comes in a large flat gift box. Choose a sheltered timber setting and keep rust run-off clear of pale surfaces.
