I bought two. These egrets are very light weight, so i plan on using construction adhesive and attach their  feet/base to a concrete paver so they wont blow over in the wind. They are 23" and beautiful standing in my little garden with my water feature. I will put them in shed during the winter months to protect them. I looked all over the internet for realistic looking birds for a decent price and this is what I found. I love them and hubby does too and he doesnt give out compliments freely.
