A pair of lifelike vultures that make any yard look like something is about to happen
At a Glance
- Pieces: 2 vultures, Scavenger (head up) and Swoop (head down)
- Scavenger size: 25 in L x 13 in W x 18.5 in H
- Swoop size: 20.5 in L x 11.5 in W x 18.5 in H
- Build: Galvanized iron, powder coated, hollow
- Finish: Hand painted distressed metallic black and gunmetal
Scavenger and Swoop are a pair of realistic vulture sculptures made from galvanized iron. Scavenger stands with his head raised as if keeping watch, while Swoop hunches with his head down low. Both show detailed feathers and natural, lifelike forms, painted by hand in a metallic black and gunmetal finish that is distressed for a weathered, aged look. Perch them on a fence line, in a flower bed, or on either side of a walk and your yard gets an eerie, watchful mood that lasts well past Halloween.
Key Features
- Two poses that play off each other: One head up and one head down gives the pair a natural, lifelike scene instead of two matching statues.
- Galvanized, powder coated iron: Both birds are built from iron with a powder coat, made to resist weather and rust outdoors.
- Detailed feathers: Layered feather detail and a metallic, distressed finish catch the light and look convincingly real from a distance.
- No stakes, no assembly: Each vulture is freestanding and arrives ready to set in place.
What's Included
The set includes two vultures shipped together in one carton. Scavenger holds his head up and measures 25 by 13 by 18.5 inches. Swoop keeps his head down and measures 20.5 by 11.5 by 18.5 inches. Both arrive finished and freestanding, with no stakes and nothing to assemble.
Before You Buy
- Each bird is 18.5 inches tall, but long. Scavenger runs 25 inches from beak to tail and Swoop runs 20.5 inches, so plan a spot about two feet deep for each one.
- Stakes are not included. They are freestanding, so set them on level ground, a wall top, or a porch rather than soft mulch.
- The finish is distressed and hand painted. The weathered metallic look is intentional, and each bird varies slightly in color and wear.
Perfect For
- A flower bed, rock garden, or fence line with a watchful, eerie look
- Flanking a front walk or porch steps for Halloween
- A wildlife or gothic garden theme that stays up past October
Care & Use
- Brush off dirt and leaves and wipe with a soft dry cloth.
- Store them in a dry garage or shed between seasons to keep the finish looking sharp.

Why this vulture pair works
Iron built for the yard
Galvanized iron under a powder coat helps both vultures resist weather and rust, so they can stay in the garden through fall and come back out year after year.
Feathers that look real
Detailed feather work and a hand painted metallic black and gunmetal finish, distressed for an aged look, catch the light the way real plumage does. Each bird is slightly unique.

Are iron vultures worth it over cheaper props?
vs. a foam or plastic prop
Lightweight props blow over and fade fast. These are galvanized iron with a powder coat, heavy enough to stay put and made for the outdoors.
vs. a resin statue
Resin birds chip and crack in the cold. Iron holds its shape, and the distressed finish already looks weathered, so wear only adds character.
vs. a single figurine
One bird looks like decor. Two in different poses look like a scene, which is what makes people stop.
Fits your space
Two low, long sculptures that fill a garden bed or flank a walk without blocking the view.
- Scavenger
- 25 x 13 x 18.5 in
- Swoop
- 20.5 x 11.5 x 18.5 in
- Set weight
- about 14.1 lb
- Set them on either side of a front walk or porch steps for a matched look.
- In a flower bed, both stand at 18.5 inches, just above most low plantings.
