Style With
California Quail
That little curl makes the bird.
A curled topknot and feather cutouts give our California Quail its familiar shape. Choose a horizontal wooden perch where the silhouette has room to stand out. A small piece of home for a quail admirer, or a new character for your own backyard.
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.
Give it a horizontal wooden perch.
Choose a sound, solid horizontal wooden rail or post top. Position the bird upright with room around the silhouette, then tap the integrated mounting spike downward into the wood with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection. Keep the pointed spike away from children; hammer or mallet not included.
A small box with someone in mind.
Your bird arrives flat-packed in Metalbird gift packaging, with a brand booklet and postcard. No invoice or pricing is included. If the gift-message option is available and you add a message at checkout, it is printed on the postcard. A bird you chose for them, ready for them to choose its perch.
