Did you know that the Long-tailed Tit is a very social bird?

The long-tailed tit lives in a large flock, but when spring begins it exchanges this for a partner in the breeding season. Together they start building a nest. It is no wonder that this usually takes more than three weeks! Long-tailed tits are real interior designers and use up to 2000 feathers, moss, hair, spider webs and lichen as camouflage. Unfortunately, many beautiful nests are attacked by predators before the young hatch. And as social as the long-tailed tit is, they simply go and help another couple with feeding their young.

Give this Metalbird female & young, made of corten steel, a nice place to show their friendly nature.

Corten steel is...

Steel that gets a beautiful rusty brown layer. The corrosion starts immediately when the long-tailed tit & young come into contact with the outside air. The layer also protects against further rusting, so that the long-tailed tit & young will last a lifetime.
