We live in Texas and are redoing our landscape to be maintenance free, more of a desert scape with rocks and metal plant sculptures.  This roadrunner is a great addition, he adds some personality.  He is sized so that he is easily seen.  The only problem I had was in putting the tail on.  The metal feathers are made so they cover the hole where you insert the tail. You need to bend the feathers back to get the tail in.  I staked his feet into the ground with 6” rust resistant landscaping pins.  I plan to spray on a rust resistant clear coat to keep his color vibrant and prevent rust.
