Critically endangered, the Regent Honeyeater is one of Australia’s most beautiful Honeyeaters. Regent Honeyeaters were once regular visitors as far north as Rockhampton, west to the Riverina region of New South Wales, and south to the suburbs of Melbourne, but no more. Widespread clearance of their woodland habitat has seen their numbers decline and their range contract, and has encouraged more aggressive species of honeyeaters, such as Noisy Miners and Red Wattlebirds, to proliferate.
Care instructions:
Nothing needs to be done once you have installed your Metalbird.
Simply step back and enjoy a piece of Australian garden art. Over time it will develop a natural patina and turn a golden-brown colour.
Installation:
Simply tap the bird with a hammer until the tip of the branch is buried about 3cm into the timber.
If you're finding it difficult because the timber is too hard, drill a small pilot hole and then tap the bird in.
Enjoy your native Australian Metalbird in your garden!
Material: 3mm Corten steel - designed to rust and age beautifully over time.
