This is a great item to add a little whimsy to your garden or home decorating. It comes in raw metal so that it can be painted if you like, or just let it set outside and it will start to get a beautiful rusty patina. To add a little character and action, you can push (bend) its wing and sides of face out a little to give it a 3-D effect. Either way, it will look awesome! This Barn owl would look great mounted: on a fence rail on the top of a post as a topper on the edge of your window planter box as a decorative item on your garden gate on your porch railing attached to the window sill OR mounted on a limb by the pond! There are sooo many ways to use this wonderful Screech Owl and I am sure that where ever you choose to place this great bird, you will get lots of compliments! **Please note that this item comes "silver or raw metal" it will rust as soon as it is put outside.
