Royal Spoonbill

$65.00

This regal bird has colonised New Zealand from Australia, being first recorded in 1861. They wade in shallow water and swing their spoon-shaped bill from side to side, filtering out invertebrates and fish. During the breeding season, birds grow distinctive long white feathers on the back of the head, which are used in mating displays.

For your Bang’n royal spoonbill you have the choice of traditional, koru, or fish inlay.

Your Bang’n royal spoonbill is designed and made in New Zealand. Constructed from weathering steel, your royal spoonbill will weather naturally, and settle into your landscape over time – forming a beautiful rusty patina.

Dimensions:

  • Height (excluding stake) – 410mm
  • Head to Tail – 335mm

Description

New Zealand has been a geographically isolated island nation for many millions of years. This isolation, and a lack of native land mammals, lead to the evolution of the unique array of bird species that call New Zealand home. Many of these species have suffered from the introduction of mammalian predators, such as stoats, rats, possums and cats.

Your purchase of a Bang’n bird helps to ensure that the native species of New Zealand stay in the forefront of our minds, in all regions of New Zealand. As you enjoy your Bang’n bird settling into your landscape, spend some time reflecting on what you might be able to do to ensure that our surviving species can flourish as they once did.
