The pretty, round Chatham Island Black Robin is a tiny miracle. In the early 80s it was the world’s rarest bird – the population was down to a single egg-laying female. A successful breeding programme turned it around and the world cheered as it came back from certain extinction. While the Black Robin is still desperately rare, the population now sits at 250-300 birds. We can’t sing the praises of this lovely songbird enough. It deserves to be honoured in your backyard. Our Robin is: ✓ 12cm high by 31cm wide approximately 300g ✓ Easy to send our regular boxes are standard A4 size, measuring 31cm x 21 cm x 1cm✓ Made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in NZ✓ Crafted from 3mm Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime✓ Easy to install holding on a downwards angle simply tap the thickest end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure (Install tip - Hold the Robin firmly with one hand, and hammer onto the flat piece of the branch. We've found most success by installing these birds in either trees or posts. If installing into a post or any other firmer structure, you may need to pre-drill a hole first).
