    Kererū know how to perch with purpose — and so does this stake.

    1. Slot the two parts together until the joint clicks snugly
    2. Insert directly into potting mix, avoiding the root zone
    3. Position upright near climbers to support vertical growth
    4. Secure stems with soft ties or clips if needed
    5. Let nature do its thing as your plant wraps and climbs
    6. Stand back and admire — you’ve created a mini native bird sanctuary

    Top tip: Use in a deep pot or planter box for best balance and visual impact.

    Will this stake rust over time?
    Not rust — Corten® steel develops a weathered patina that protects the surface and blends beautifully with plants.

    Can I use this outdoors?
    Absolutely. It’s designed for both indoor and outdoor plants — rain, sun, or shine.

    What kinds of plants work best with it?
    It's ideal for climbing or trailing plants like pothos, monstera, philodendron, or sweet peas.

    Do I need any special tools to install it?
    Nope! Just your hands and a pot of soil. Slide the joint together and press the stake in firmly.

    Why kererū?
    Kererū are NZ’s only native bird able to spread large native tree seeds like tawa and karaka — true forest heroes!

    Most of our steel bird silhouettes are cut from 3 mm Corten weathering steel. Check the individual product for its material, thickness and manufacturing origin: wooden birds, clothing and other products have their own specifications.

    Why does Corten steel change colour?

    Outdoors, the steel develops a natural rust patina. Grey gives way to orange and brown tones, with the setting and weather doing their bit. The colour and timing vary. It is unpainted steel, so a permanent black finish is not part of the deal.

    Where should I put it?

    Choose a spot with good drainage. Rusty runoff can mark pale paving, pots and walls, particularly while the steel is weathering. Follow the mounting instructions for your particular bird or feeder.

    The Patina Process:

    That first flash of orange? Your steel bird is settling in. Corten weathering steel develops a natural rust patina, changing through orange and brown tones as it spends time outdoors.

    How long does patina take?

    There is no fixed timetable or guaranteed final colour. Rain, humidity, airflow and the position you choose all affect how the surface changes.

    Will it stain nearby surfaces?

    Rusty runoff can mark paving, pots and walls, especially during early weathering. Leave room around pale surfaces and choose a location where water can drain freely.

    Is my bird painted black?

    Corten birds are unpainted steel. Their finish changes naturally; they are not intended to stay permanently black. Check your product page for the exact material and care instructions.
