Saddleback and Chick

$65.00

New Zealand has both a North Island and South Island saddleback, tieke, species. These birds are easily recognisable with their rusty orange saddles and orange-red wattles. The birds inhabit coastal and inland forests, and can be heard with their loud chattering call. In breeding season, the female birds incubate the eggs, but both parents feed and care for the young.

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

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.
