The birds, critters, dogs and cats are made from recycled materials; scrap and rejected garden tools, farm machinery, bicycle and auto parts. Buying a Yardbird reduces solid waste destined for a landfill. If everyone bought two or three, we could save the earth!

Seriously, so far over 2 million pounds of scrap has been recycled into these lovable critters. 

Now this is a sound idea. You can add a little fun indoors and out with the critter creations from Yardbird and help reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill as well. This is a real win-win situation.  A father and son team started making critter creations over a decade ago.

Today, a group of U.S. artisans still handcrafts the critters. I have a passion for frogs and this little guy would look great in our backyard.
