Perhaps the title should have been “Re-purposed tool parts”
Two years ago we were on a weekend search for treasures at yard sales and there they were: birds cleverly designed with pieces of shovels, rakes, rebar and sickle bar mower rock protectors. We just had to have them, and now they stand as sentries in front of our house.

Spade birds with raked feathers are very creative and excellent sculptures. What do other birds think of them? It looks like they would make a nice perch.

Funny you mention perching…I have seen a Robin on the larger of the two.

Those are fun! What a really great thing to do with garden tools… and in a pinch you could presumably use them on your garden!

Ha! Telling the bird to rake the garden, what a novel idea! Thanks 😉
