Style With
Mini Cardinal
Small enough for a quiet corner.
The crest and branch are all there, just in a smaller silhouette. Mini Cardinal fits a little timber perch near the door, a wooden planter or a spot you pass every day. Give it as a small thank-you, a familiar bird for a friend, or a personal reminder of someone you miss. The meaning is yours to give.
Steel that changes with the seasons
Corten is weathering steel. Its gray surface changes through orange and brown tones outdoors as a natural rust patina develops. Each setting leaves its own mark, so color and timing vary. Allow water to drain and keep rusty runoff away from pale stone, walls and other surfaces that could stain.
Choose a perch. Tap it in.
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
A small envelope. Someone in mind.
Your Mini Cardinal arrives in a branded envelope, rather than a full-size bird box. A small gift to hand over or send on, with the bird safely packed flat.
