MOURNING DOVES

The Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)—one of North America’s most beloved and graceful birds. Recognizable by their distinctive and wistful call—coo-AHH, cooo, coo, cooo—Mourning Doves fill the air with a familiar melody that sometimes gets mistaken for an owl’s hoot. With their slender tails and small heads, these doves are a common sight across the continent, often perching on telephone wires or foraging for seeds on the ground. Their flight is swift and straight, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they take off. Known for their adaptability, Mourning Doves thrive in a wide range of habitats, from open farmland and parks to backyards, bringing a touch of nature’s charm to any setting.

Bring a piece of the wild into your world with Rustic Perch, where artistry, nature, and craftsmanship soar together.

At Rustic Perch, we blend art, nature, and craftsmanship to create lifelike metal bird sculptures that transform any outdoor space. Handcrafted in America from durable CorTen weathering steel, each bird is designed to evolve with the seasons, naturally developing a protective patina that deepens over time into a rich brown or charcoal hue. This unique patina not only enhances your bird’s appearance but also strengthens its durability, ensuring it will last a lifetime.

CorTen steel is a self-sealing material, offering up to 100 years of protection against corrosion. What may initially appear as simple rust is actually the protective patina forming over the first six months. No need to worry—it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do! This layer will safeguard the steel from further wear and tear. Preserving the beauty of your rustic perch for years to come.

As a design engineer and lifelong bird enthusiast, I pour my passion for both art and ornithology into every creation. From hand-drawing each bird to bringing it to life with meticulous precision, our goal is simple: to make you smile when you discover these beautiful, lifelike birds perched in your own yard.
