Design For The Birds
Polly wants a crack at enlivening your garden! Bold and full of personality, this recycled steel stunner is sure to strike up a conversation with the local wildlife. Just tell your pets not to be alarmed, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Handmade in Utah by Fred Conlon from recycled tools, steel and a repurposed monkey wrench (the body).
Each is one-of-a-kind and will vary.
- Item ID: 20777
- Materials: steel, recycled metal
- Approx. 21" H x 17" dia.
- This item is intentionally designed by Fred Conlon to develop a rust patina outdoors. If the rust is not desirable, the artist recommends a clear spray paint like rust oleum or krylon.

Fred Conlon
Raised in Colorado, Fred Conlon lives now in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he makes garden sculptures out of recovered objects. For his helmet sculptures, he uses real recovered World War II helmets. "It is very satisfying to transform something once used in war into a peaceful garden decoration," he says. See all creations.

Cool that it's made of recycled materials, but this item is not something I would buy.

The work that goes into this is impressive but this is lacking the artist beauty other metal artists seem to capture. This is too rough and stiff, which makes the piece pretty unappealing.

This piece is gorgeous! Anyone who says it isn't "worth" $250 obviously doesn't know the first thing about art and should probably just stick to decorating their homes with crummy prints of farmhouses.

The bird looks a bit freaky but it's a great idea.

I cannot imagine this looking "classy" in my yard. I'm sure others would enjoy it, but not my style.
