MEET THE BIRD

The garden has a new lookout.

The Southern Boobook Owl sits upright with a round head and patterned feathers cut through the steel. Give it a timber perch on the way to the shed, or a spot you can see as evening settles in. That watchful face works perfectly well in daylight, too.

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 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 owl person in your life, the evening gardener, or someone who likes a quiet corner of their own. The Boobook comes in a flat gift box.
