This rusty metal chicken has plumage that is redolent of the New Hampshire Red. Will rust further when left outside but this will only enhance its appearance.

They may not lay eggs but they sure look pretty round the garden….

This bird waterer or bird feeder is made of cast iron, so when outside it will weather and over time return to a rust aged finish. If you wish to preserve the lead grey finish, then it will require a regular coat of matt varnish or sealer. Made of cast iron.

Here he is ‘on location’ at Jimmy’s Farm near Ipswich. Made of cast iron. Frostproof.
Cheap to feed.

Beautiful metal birds on stakes which look delightful either in the garden border or in/near a pond. Handmade from twisted metal strips which makes each bird unique. They are powder coated so they are suitable for the outdoors, but the natural weathering process will still occur, adding more contrast to the bird as it lives with you.

NB Please note the actual weight of this item is 822g, however the weight is shown here as 2.5kg for technical reasons because of it’s length to avoid it being sent by Royal Mail, who despite having vans big enough to carry large garden tools in the old days, now see this as a special so it will be despatched by courier instead.

Whether he will keep the real foxes out of the garden we will never know, but this life size Rusty Fox is a lovely rusty piece of garden art.

Made from flat sheet metal with a flat metal base and with a rusty weather worn appearance he looks very at home trotting across the lawn.

If your fox is situated in an exposed position, we suggest you either angle him into the prevailing wind or alternatively drill a couple of small holes in the base to allow for metal pegs to be inserted.

Jo Downs is a talented glass artist based in Cornwall. She makes large glass sculptures and wall art by layering many strands of beautifully coloured layered glass.

By accident, she invented the Wishstick, a spectacular piece of hanging glass that catches the light, but looks gorgeous even on a dull day.

Hang it near the house, in a tree or large shrub - catch the light and see the colours of the rainbow- we think the Wishstick is much better for the neighbours than a wind chime, anytime!

Comes ready to hang with a sturdy rope loop.

These Runner Ducks are a lovely addition for the garden. Made from resin with a textured stone finish texture. They look great as a set - even better as a small family.
Frost resistant.

Made of flat sheet rusted metal on a flat oval base, which will weather gracefully. If your pigs are situated in an exposed position, we suggest you either angle the pigs into the prevailing wind or alternatively drill a couple of small holes in the base to allow for metal pegs to be inserted.
