Q: Are they pigeons or doves?
Both terms refer to very similar birds — the dove is often used for the smaller and paler species, while the pigeon is used for the more robust forms. This statuette represents two birds with pearlescent gray plumage and iridescent green and purple reflections on the neck, characteristic of the wood pigeon or the rock pigeon depending on the angle. In any case, their symbolism is identical: peace, fidelity, return.
Q: Is the wood support really made of natural wood?
No — it is made of high-density polyresin (polystone), like the birds themselves. It realistically mimics the appearance of natural wood: grains, knots, warm hue. The advantage over real wood is precisely here — the whole piece is 100% polyresin, thus resistant to frost (-20 °C), UVs, and weather without any restrictions or special maintenance. It is a material consistency that guarantees the durability of the entire piece.
Q : Can this sculpture be left outside all year round?
Yes. The high-density polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. Its weight of 850 g also ensures good wind stability. In case of very harsh winters, an occasional shelter will prolong the lifespan of the wood, but the polyresin withstands all conditions without restriction.
Q : What is the difference with the other wooden birds in the range?
It is the only duo model — two birds together on a common perch — and the most imposing in the wooden range (850 g, H22 cm vs 140 g and H11 cm for the goldfinch). It has a narrative dimension that individual figurines lack: it tells a scene, not just a bird.
Q : Is it a good gift idea for a wedding, a housewarming, or a birthday?
Excellent, precisely for its symbolism. Two birds together naturally evoke peace, fidelity, and friendship — three values universally associated with great occasions. Its handcrafted wood + hand-painted resin aspect places it above a purely decorative gift.
