Q: What is the difference between this great gray owl and the other owls in the catalog ?
Mainly the species and the color. This great gray owl (Great Gray Owl) has a finely striped ash gray plumage and a large facial disc with concentric circles — very distinct from the tawny owl (brown-red, wood effect finish, H32cm) and the classic decorative owl (naturalistic brown-red, Small H22cm or Large H60cm). The three species are identified and faithfully sculpted — each has its own color range and silhouette. The great gray owl is the only one with cool tones.
Q: What size to choose between the Medium (H36cm) and the Large (H52cm)?
The Medium (H36cm, 1.5kg) is suitable for a terrace, a spacious balcony, or a garden corner — it presents without dominating. The Large (H52cm, 4.1kg) is a full-fledged garden sculpture — it requires space and sufficient viewing distance to be fully appreciated. At H52cm, it is visible from 5 to 8 meters and stands out as a centerpiece. If space allows, both together create the richest and most natural composition.
Q: Can these sculptures stay outside all year round?
Yes, without restriction. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the gray tones, which are naturally more resistant to fading than warm tones. The Large (4.1kg) is particularly stable outdoors due to its weight.
Q: Does the great gray owl have a repellent function for harmful birds?
No — this sculpture is exclusively decorative. Its immobility distinguishes it from repellents designed to be mobile. It is designed to beautify an outdoor space, not to protect it.
Q: Is this a good gift for someone who loves raptors and the wild nature?
A very strong gift for this profile — precisely because the great gray owl is a less common species in decor than the classic owl. Giving this sculpture to a fan of nocturnal raptors shows that you know the animal and that you have sought something specific and rare.
