Product Story
∨
Forged from mild steel and left to weather naturally, this bird feeder stake develops a rich rust patina that shifts from silvery grey to burnished terracotta—blending seamlessly with cottage garden palettes and aged materials. The handcrafted design serves ground-feeding species like robins, blackbirds, and thrushes whilst adding sculptural presence to heritage borders.
Unlike swaying hanging feeders, this 100cm stake roots firmly into soil, providing a stable platform that shy birds trust. The generous 20cm bowl accommodates multiple visitors, whilst built-in drainage holes prevent seed from waterlogging during British rain, keeping food fresh throughout the seasons.
This is functional garden art that respects wildlife needs whilst serving gardeners who value artisan craftsmanship. Perfect for heritage gardens, cottage borders, wildflower meadows, and period property landscapes where sculptural beauty and bird-friendly design matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
What birds use ground feeders?
This stake feeder is perfect for ground-feeding species like robins, blackbirds, thrushes, dunnocks, and wrens. The 100cm height provides protection from predators whilst keeping food accessible for birds that prefer feeding at low levels.
How does the rust patina develop?
The mild steel naturally weathers from silvery grey to rich terracotta rust tones over weeks and months. British rain accelerates the process. You can mist with salt water to speed up rusting if desired—the patina deepens beautifully with time.
Will the drainage holes work in heavy rain?
Yes! The built-in drainage holes prevent seed from waterlogging during British weather. Water escapes naturally, keeping food fresh and preventing mould. Simply brush out old seed regularly to maintain hygiene.
How do I install the stake?
Simply push the stake into soft soil—no tools, concrete, or special installation required. Choose a spot where ground feeders already forage (under shrubs, near hedges, in mixed borders) and move seasonally to follow bird activity patterns.
Is this a good gift for gardeners?
Perfect for it! This handcrafted sculpture makes a thoughtful gift for heritage garden enthusiasts, bird watchers, countryside homeowners, or anyone who values artisan quality and wildlife-friendly design. Ideal for housewarmings, birthdays, or Mother's Day.
Does the rust stain paving or patios?
The natural rust patina is stable once developed and won't transfer to surfaces. However, we recommend positioning in soil borders, gravel gardens, or wildflower meadows rather than directly on paving to allow the stake to anchor properly and blend with natural planting.
