Mini Cardinal
A little bird. Plenty of room for meaning.
A familiar crest and a long tail, scaled down to fit in your hand. The Mini Cardinal keeps the character of the larger bird without needing much space.
It makes a thoughtful extra with a card, a thank-you for a host, or a small reminder of someone you miss. There’s no prescribed meaning. Choose a perch and make it yours.
Steel that changes with the seasons
Corten is weathering steel. Outdoors, its surface develops a rust-coloured patina. The colour and rate of change vary with exposure, rain and drying. Your bird is meant to change with the seasons.
Leave the steel unpainted to enjoy the changing finish. Choose a spot where rust run-off won’t mark pale paving, walls or other surfaces.
Choose a perch. Tap it in.
Choose a sturdy wooden fence post, deck post or timber planter. Position the integrated mounting spike against the wood and tap it in gently with a hammer until the bird sits securely. Avoid striking the bird itself.
Choose a spot you have permission to use. Keep the spike out of children’s reach. A clear background helps the silhouette and cut detail stand out.
A little bird. Ready to give.
A thank-you, a stocking addition, or a note with something lasting inside. The Mini Cardinal comes in an A6 gift envelope, rather than a full-size gift box.
Envelope included. Hammer not included.
