MEET THE BIRD

All the character. A quieter neighbour.

The raised crest gives this cockatoo away before you notice anything else. Fine cut-outs pick out the face and feathers, while the broad tail sits below the branch.

Based on the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, this is an unpainted steel silhouette. Give it an open backdrop and let the light bring the details through. It has plenty of presence without a splash of paint.

MADE FOR OUTDOORS

Steel that changes with the seasons

Corten is weathering steel. Outdoors, its surface develops a rust-coloured patina. Exposure, rain and drying affect the colour and the rate of change, so each bird weathers in its own way.

Leave it unpainted to enjoy the changing finish. Choose a spot where rust run-off won’t mark pale paving, walls or other surfaces.

INSTALLATION

Choose a perch. Tap it in.

Choose suitable solid timber, such as a sturdy fence post or timber planter. Position the integrated mounting spike against the wood and tap it in gently with a hammer until secure. Avoid striking the bird itself. Hammer not included.

Choose a spot you have permission to use. Keep the pointed spike out of children’s reach. Give the silhouette a clear background so its cut detail can show.

READY TO GIVE

A small box with someone in mind.

For the cockatoo admirer who enjoys the birds more than the racket. A Victorian-made garden gift with enough personality to hold its own on a verandah or fence.

Gift packaging included. Hammer not included.
