The Kotare’s impressive bill is not just pretty, it’s a mighty weapon in the fight to defend territory and help them dive for fish. They also use it to make burrows – they fly straight at a decaying trunk and ram it till there’s a hole big enough to perch in and scoop out. You often see Kotare perching on a power line waiting patiently for its prey to appear. No wonder a bunch of them is called ‘a concentration’. Kotare is a must-have profile in any backyard.

Our Kotare is:

• 19cm high by 31cm wide (includes measurement of the branch/spike)
• Easily installed with the tap of a hammer (pre-drill hard wood)
  
• Crafted in 3mm Corten® 'weathering' Steel to form a beautiful patina that changes with the seasons
• Makes a great gift for the friend you never get tired of listening to
