Style With
Brown Kiwi
Keep this kiwi close to the ground.
Long beak, rounded back and sturdy legs. Brown Kiwi has the outline you know, cut into a substantial steel silhouette. Its ground spike belongs in firm garden soil, where the bird can sit low among the plants. Choose a spot where that long beak has some space and the silhouette can catch the light.
Steel that changes with the seasons
Corten is weathering steel. Its grey surface changes through orange and brown tones as a natural rust patina develops. Colour and timing depend on the setting. Keep it well drained and allow for rusty runoff, which can mark paving, pots and nearby surfaces. This is unpainted steel, not a permanent black finish.
Give your kiwi solid ground.
Push the integrated ground spike into firm garden soil and check that the kiwi stands securely. Keep its beak and edges clear of paths, children and pets. Do not balance the bird loosely between stones or force it into concrete.
Packed flat. Someone in mind.
Packed flat in Metalbird gift packaging, ready for someone to choose its home. Check the dimensions before choosing the spot.
