Metalbird: Sparrow & Chicks Garden Art

The Sparrow & Chicks is an extra special release, created as a tribute tomothers all over NZ as Mothers Day approaches. A silhouette of a tender momentbetween a sparrow and her chicks, this limited edition Metalbird is crafted fromcorten steel and inspired by the women who raised us!

Like everyone else, Mothers are an endlessly varied bunch! But ifthere’s one thing our mums do have in common, it’s that they’re always,always there. Dependable and wonderfully familiar, it’s that consistency thatreminds us of sparrows, those loveable birds that populate our gardens socheerfully, always there. The sparrow is also a famously excellent mother,attentive and nurturing, adapting at a moment's notice in order for her chicksto thrive. She watches her young with a careful, encouraging eye as they makeshaky attempts at flight, guiding them with her voice.

Our gardens and skies would be sorely lacking without sparrows, and our liveswould be utterly unrecognisable without our mums. With Mothers Day around thecorner, this Metalbird is a way to celebrate anyone who filled that role,shaping and encouraging you until you were ready to fly!
