The bird feeder is a wall-mounted bird table designed to attract a wide range of small to medium bird species. It has many attractive design features. An initial verdigris coating is applied to the real copper roof to give it an instant aged effect. Further natural patination of the copper will then follow in time. It is natural for some of the initial coatings to flake away, any loose material may be brushed away to allow further natural verdigris to develop. The bird feeder is sealed with a water-based sealant and painted in soft green. To fully maintain its appearance they recommend an annual repaint using exterior water-based varnish or paint to keep the surface sealed.
