The Bronze Birds Parliament of Owls on Tree Sculpture BI96 is one of the most extraordinary bird sculptures in our collection.
Five characterful bronze owls gather among the branches of a sculptural tree, creating a magnificent composition standing 150 cm high and extending approximately 140 cm across.
Some sit quietly observing their surroundings. Meanwhile, others spread their wings, bringing movement and animation to the group.
Together, they form that wonderfully named gathering from the natural world: a Parliament of Owls.
Large, rustic and highly unusual, this is far more than an individual bird sculpture. Instead, it is an entire wildlife scene in bronze and a substantial focal point for country estates, woodland gardens, wildlife attractions and rural destinations.

The immediate appeal of this piece comes from discovering each individual owl.
Five birds occupy different positions within the tree. As a result, their varied heights, poses and directions encourage the eye to travel through the whole sculpture.
Two owls spread their wings, adding movement among their more watchful companions.
Because of this, the composition feels like a living group rather than five identical birds arranged together.
Viewed from different angles, the relationship between the owls changes again. Therefore, this is a sculpture worth walking around and exploring.
A group of owls is traditionally known as a parliament.
It is a wonderfully appropriate expression for birds that have been associated with wisdom and knowledge for centuries. Therefore, the name gives the sculpture another layer of character.
The five owls almost appear to be holding their own secret meeting among the branches. Each bird seems to observe the proceedings from a different position.
For private gardens, this creates an immediate talking point.
Equally, within a wildlife attraction, bird centre or educational setting, the collective name gives children and adults an engaging detail to discover and remember.
This sculpture deserves more than simply being placed on an empty lawn.
Imagine walking beneath mature trees and suddenly encountering five enormous bronze owls gathered ahead.
Among woodland, ferns and natural undergrowth, the sculptural tree could begin to merge visually with the surrounding landscape.
From a distance, visitors first notice the unusual silhouette. Then, as they approach, the individual owls gradually emerge from the composition.
This would work beautifully along a private woodland path, nature trail or within several acres of country grounds.
Position it near a bend in the pathway and the entire Parliament can be revealed unexpectedly. As a result, it becomes an encounter rather than simply another garden ornament.
Waterside landscapes offer another compelling setting.
Beside a lake, reservoir, large pond or woodland stream, the owls would feel naturally connected to the surrounding wildlife.
In addition, a position overlooking water could provide clear sightlines from the opposite bank.
Imagine the sculpture appearing between trees during a reservoir walk or standing near a bench overlooking a lake.
For a private country property, it could create a destination within the grounds. Meanwhile, for a commercial attraction, it could become a memorable stopping point along a visitor route.
The rustic character of the tree works particularly well in these less formal surroundings.
At 150 cm high and approximately 140 cm across, the Parliament of Owls needs enough space to tell its story.
A substantial country garden provides that opportunity.
Woodland edges, mature borders and areas where formal gardens transition into wilder grounds could all work beautifully.
Alternatively, it could stand beyond the house where the sculpture can be viewed across a lawn before being discovered properly on a garden walk.
For properties with significant acreage, consider making it part of the landscape rather than positioning it immediately beside the house.
The pleasure then comes from walking through the grounds and finding the owls waiting among the trees.
This is also one of those rare bronzes with enormous potential for a specialist commercial setting.
Falconry centres, bird of prey attractions, wildlife parks and conservation centres could all provide natural homes for a Parliament of Owls.
Rather than representing a single species or bird, the composition immediately communicates the wider world of owls and birds of prey.
Position it near an entrance and it could welcome visitors. Alternatively, place it along a trail and it becomes part of the experience.
Used near an education centre or viewing area, the unusual collective name creates an instant conversation.
For a destination built around wildlife, this is sculpture with genuine relevance.
Country attractions increasingly need memorable places within their grounds.
Visitors photograph them, children remember them and families use them as meeting points. Therefore, this Parliament of Owls has exactly that potential.
Country parks, reservoir walks, woodland attractions, farm parks and nature reserves could use the sculpture to create a recognisable landmark.
A bench nearby could encourage visitors to stop. In addition, careful planting could integrate the bronze into its environment.
Because there are five different owls to examine, the sculpture rewards close inspection rather than simply providing a backdrop.
It is the sort of unexpected feature people are likely to talk about afterwards.
Hospitality settings offer another interesting opportunity.
Imagine arriving at a secluded country hotel and discovering the Parliament among mature woodland close to the entrance.
A country retreat could position it beside a walking trail. Meanwhile, woodland lodges might use it as a focal point within communal grounds.
A destination restaurant or rural wedding venue could also create a memorable photographic feature around it.
The sculpture has sufficient scale to make an impression on guests without feeling formal or corporate.
Instead, its appeal comes from character, wildlife and discovery.
For businesses whose surroundings form an important part of the customer experience, that can be particularly valuable.
For someone with a lifelong fascination with owls, it is difficult to imagine a more spectacular garden statement.
Rather than owning another small owl ornament, they can have an entire Parliament gathered within their grounds.
It could be an extraordinary milestone purchase for a collector, birdwatcher, ornithologist or wildlife enthusiast.
Equally, the sculpture might commemorate retirement or a lifetime spent working with birds, conservation or the countryside.
For someone who has the space and wants something few other gardens will contain, this is a wonderfully individual choice.
Owls have fascinated people for generations.
Their nocturnal lives, extraordinary eyesight and almost silent flight give them a mysterious quality. Meanwhile, their traditional association with wisdom adds further symbolism.
Multiply that character by five and the effect becomes even more intriguing.
The birds appear to watch both one another and the world around them.
There is humour in the idea of their secret parliament. However, there is also a quiet sense of mystery.
That combination prevents this large sculpture from becoming overly serious. It has scale and craftsmanship, but it also has personality.
The tree is an important part of the composition rather than merely a support for the birds.
Four substantial branches extend downwards to form sturdy contact points with the ground. As a result, they create a broad, stable structure while maintaining the appearance of a natural tree form.
At approximately 65 kg, the complete sculpture has reassuring substance.
The branching structure also creates open spaces throughout the composition. Therefore, light, planting and the landscape beyond can still be seen between the owls.
This prevents such a substantial bronze from appearing like a heavy solid mass.
Instead, it remains open, organic and surprisingly animated.
This Parliament of Owls is made from solid bronze and suitable for permanent outdoor display throughout the year.
Bronze does not rust or corrode. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for woodland, parkland and waterside environments.
Over time, the sculpture can become increasingly integrated with its surroundings.
Plant ferns and woodland grasses nearby. Alternatively, allow fallen leaves to gather naturally around the tree.
Position it against mature bark and changing seasonal foliage and the surroundings will continually alter its appearance.
Spring greenery, summer woodland, autumn leaves and winter branches will each create a different backdrop.
The bronze, however, remains.
And that is part of the appeal.
At 150 cm high and 140 cm across, with five owls occupying their own sculptural tree, this was never intended to disappear quietly into a small suburban border.
It needs space.
Give it woodland, water, mature planting or substantial country grounds and the scale begins to make sense.
For a private owner, it can become one of those features visitors always ask about. Equally, for a wildlife attraction or rural business, it could become part of the identity of the destination itself.
There are owl sculptures.
And then there is an entire Parliament.
For someone looking for something genuinely unusual, wonderfully rustic and impossible to forget, this magnificent bronze gathering is in a class of its own.
