MetalBird Kotare Kingfisher Garden Art
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 approximately 300g✓ Easy to send our regular boxes are standard letter size, measuring 31cm x 21 cm x 1cm✓ 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 secureOur 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!
