THE STORY

California Quail in your own patch.

Our steel California Quail wears its distinctive topknot with the usual confidence. Choose the spot first, then give the silhouette a clear backdrop so it can stand out among the leaves.

MATERIAL & CARE

Steel that changes with the seasons.

Corten weathering steel starts grey and develops a natural rust-coloured patina outdoors. Rain, drying and exposure affect the colour and pace of change. Allow for rusty runoff, which can mark pale paving, walls, pots and indoor surfaces.

GETTING STARTED

Choose a perch. Tap it in.

Choose sound timber and leave room around the silhouette. Hold the mounting spike at a slight downward angle and gently tap its thick end with a hammer or mallet until secure. Avoid striking the bird or fine cut detail. Dense hardwood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection.
