More magpie for the morning view.
32 cm high × 34 cm wide. 3 mm Corten steel. Made in Australia.
A familiar neighbour, given more room.
An upright stance and bold cut-out markings make this large Magpie easy to recognise. Give it a substantial wooden post and a clear background so the silhouette shows from the house. It can be part of the daily routine before you have even finished your cuppa.
Material and weathering
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 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.
