Quail Family Yard Art: Three Metal Signs of Quail Mom and Two Quail Babies

Melt your heart and brighten your yard or home with this happy quail family! The trio of darling quails include a mama quail and two baby quails, each of which can be independently hung and displayed in any arrangement that catches your eye.

The standard quail color is the pictured light aqua blue, but you can also opt for other hues, like the purple gal pictured or any other color.

Each sign is hand cut out of sturdy sheet metal, filed with a Dremel to smooth rough edges and outfitted with a wire loop for easy hanging. Body paint is rustproof, water-resistant and topped off with clear coat.

Quail signs work for indoor or outdoor use, although too much harsh direct sunlight or constant rain or snow can age them quicker than a semi-sheltered spot near a porch eave would do.

Quail sign specs:

  • Mama quail measures approx. 10 inches high x 8 inches wide
  • Big baby quail measures approx. 8 high x 6 wide
  • Little baby quail measures approx. 6 high by 5 wide

Pink Flamingo Arizona Style: Quail in Pink and Blue

The Arizona Style Pink Flamingo is a gorgeous tribute to the Grand Canyon State’s mighty quail. It proves once and for all that Floridians are not the only ones lucky enough to have a version of this ever-popular and gorgeous bright pink flamingo.

Why you need it:
Pink flamingos are the ultimate piece of yard art – and you don’t want to be left in the barren dust. Besides, the Arizona Pink Flamingo ensures you are helping wildlife thrive by acknowledging its beauty in every form. It will also make your neighbor’s laugh, which means they will automatically like you and then you can get away with things like leaf-blowing all your debris onto their property with no repercussions.

How I made it:
Metal yard art is created with love and care by first cutting out shape from sheet metal, filing down the edges with a Dremel and pounding out kinks with a flat hammer and anvil combination that the neighbors and my dogs hate.

Specs:
Approx. 14 inches high by 11 inches wide.
Weather resistant, rust-resistant paint finished off with clear coat.
Wire loop for easy hanging.

Variations:
Custom orders always welcome! Consider pink flamingos of other regions, such as the Michigan-style flamingo that is a robin done up in pink and aqua hues or the Alaska version, which is a penguin sporting the same colors. Oh, yeah – you can also get a traditional Florida-style pink flamingo if you so desire.
