These birds will come to you with their wings pressed flat for shipping. Before you hang them up, bend their wings out a little bit - don't be shy! You can't hurt them - they are metal, after all. A playful pair of birds to soar across your indoor or outdoor living space. Fair trade isn't just a catch phrase. It's the way we do business. NO MACHINES USE-ALL HANDMADE Natural Color variation from dark silver to rustic brown tones. This is a hand-crafted original piece of Haitian metal art, made from recycled steel drums and brought to you through fair trade practices. It is created in traditional fashion; the artist utilizing simple hand tools for both the cutwork and detailing. A protective, weather-proof coating has been applied, making it suitable for display indoors or out. Made of recycled steel, this sculpture will rust over time if it is exposed to the elements. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, some people like the look of a weathered patina. If that isn't you, don't dispair. Taking five minutes once a year to apply a spray-on enamel clear coat will keep your sculpture looking exactly the same as the day you bought it.
