Description
Meet 'The Silver Cockies' - a pair of loved-up larrikins having a proper chinwag on their favourite perch. These two cockies are deep in conversation, probably arguing about who ate the last Tim Tam or whether the footy's worth watching this year. With their crests perfectly preened and tail feathers catching the light, they're the classiest couple to ever grace an Aussie wall - and they know it.
Laser-cut from premium stainless steel with a brushed silver finish that gleams like a fresh-polished ute, every feather detail pops with precision. The way light dances across the steel brings these cheeky birds to life - perfect for brightening up the living room, adding character to the hallway, or giving the dining room some proper Aussie personality. Mount them where the arvo sun hits and watch them absolutely sparkle.
A ripper gift for the bird-mad aunty, the couple who've got everything except taste, or anyone whose walls need a bit more squawk and swagger. Once these two move in, they'll be gossiping about your guests before you can say 'cocky wants a cracker'.

Care Tips
To ensure your custom steel artwork remains a beautiful centerpiece for years to come, here are some tailored care tips based on the material you chose.
For Corten Steel (Natural Rust Finish)
Corten steel is designed to evolve. Its appearance will change over time as it develops a protective "patina" (the rust layer).
- Embrace the Process: The rust layer is a natural shield that protects the steel from deep corrosion. You don’t need to treat or oil it.
- Prevent Staining: During the first few months, rain or high humidity can cause some "run-off" of the rust. If hanging indoors or against a light-colored wall, ensure the spacers (standoffs) are used to keep the piece from touching the wall directly.
- Cleaning: Simply hose it down or wipe it with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty. Avoid using soaps or chemicals, as these can disrupt the natural weathering process.
For Painted Mild Steel (Modern Look)
The painted finish provides a sleek, protective barrier against the elements.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, microfiber cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges, a damp cloth with a tiny drop of mild dish soap is all you need.
- Avoid Abrasives: Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or dull the paint finish.
- Touch-ups: If the paint is ever chipped by accident, we recommend a small dab of exterior-grade metal touch-up paint to prevent moisture from reaching the raw steel beneath.
General Handling & Safety
- Watch the Edges: Because your piece is hand-cut from 2.0mm steel, some edges may be sharp. We recommend wearing gloves while unboxing and hanging the piece.
- Secure Mounting: Steel is durable but heavy. Always use the provided hardware and ensure you are mounting into a secure surface (stud, brick, or using the correct anchors for plasterboard).
- Environment: While Australian steel is incredibly tough, pieces hung in high-salinity environments (right on the coast) may age faster. A quick rinse with fresh water once or twice a year will help remove salt buildup.
