Description

Fondly nicknamed “Couldn't Kea Less”, our kea perches happily on a windshield wiper with a cheeky glint in its eye - after all, this is a bird with a reputation as the world’s worst mechanic! A talented prankster and thief, the alpine parrot steals our affection instantly with its intelligence, charisma and a mischievous streak a kilometer wide, not to mention the downright unrepentant energy of an adventurous toddler.

This mischievous Kea makes an ideal gift for any mavericks, wild cards, or joyful agents of chaos in your life!

Our Kea on Wiper is:

✓ 28cm high by 39cm wide (includes measurement of the branch/spike) and weighs approx 700 grams

✓ Easy to send our large boxes measure 39cm x 34 cm x 1cm, designed to fit in a postal mailer
✓ Same day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on weekdays
✓ Made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in NZ
✓ Crafted from 3mm Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime
✓ Easy to install holding on a downwards angle simply tap the thickest end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure

Install Tip: Hold the Kea firmly in one hand while tapping your hammer onto the flat surface end of the branch. If installing into a post, you may need to pre-drill a hole first before installing.

Care Instruction

Our birds are designed with 3mm CorTen steel to form a protective patina that deepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade over the years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.

This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of up to 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completely corrosion resistent.

What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tight patina forming over a six month period, so don’t panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what it’s been designed to do, and this patina will protect the steel from any further damage and disintegration.

CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives and is therefore extremely environmentally friendly.

MADE FROM PREMIUM CORTEN STEEL

Corten Steel or ‘Weathering Steel’ is used in high-end exterior architecture, for good reason. Exposed to the elements, within weeks it develops a patina that seals the steel and preserves it for decades. It also leaves a beautiful even colouring that will get darker over the years.
