Description
A small cast steel bird in flight, wings spread, for gates, walls and railings. This ornament is 113mm across the wings and 87mm from beak to tail, with carved feather lines on the wings and tail and wings swept up in a shallow V. It is a three-dimensional casting about 36mm deep overall, with a rounded body underneath that welds to a bar, rail or post, or fixes to a wall. The price shown is for one bird, with a minimum order of 5, enough for a small flock.
Why choose this badge
Looks like a flock taking off. Three or five birds fixed in a rising line across a gate or wall look as if they are flying away, a simple detail that brings a garden to life.
Truly three-dimensional. The upswept wings stand clear of the surface, so the birds throw real shadows and look good from the side as well as the front.
Popular with customers. It is one of our best-reviewed cast badges, chosen for gates, walls and gifts.
Small and light. At about 0.2 kg each, they are easy to fix to bars, timber or masonry.
Where it is used
Garden gates and railings, rendered and brick garden walls, fences and sheds, pergolas, balcony panels, wildlife and bird-lover gardens, and indoor feature walls.

Fitting and care
Lay the birds out first to plan the line of flight, then mark each position. Fix them in a rising diagonal, each tilted slightly differently, so they look as if they are flying. Clean the body where it will be welded, or drill a small hole through the body for a screw.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Outdoors, galvanising before painting gives the longest life. Use stainless screws so they do not stain the wall.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one bird?
Yes, it is for one bird, with a minimum order of 5. For a larger flock, call us for a quantity price.
Is it flat?
No. The wings sweep up from the body, so it stands about 36mm off the surface and looks three-dimensional.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw cast steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is fixed.
Can I fix it to a wall without welding?
Yes. Drill through the body and plug and screw it, or bond it with an exterior construction adhesive.
Are all the birds exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two and the surface texture varies slightly from one casting to the next.
