MEET THE BIRD

Your garden’s familiar neighbour.

Some birds become part of the daily routine. A shape on the fence, a head turned towards you, a pause while you’re out in the garden.

Our Magpie captures that moment on a simple steel branch. The cut-out markings keep the silhouette recognisable, with no paint needed. Place it where you’ll spot it over your morning cuppa.

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.
