Care Instructions:
PLA is a medium brittle plastic, so be careful not to apply too much force to areas like the legs and wings or it will snap. However, you could try using super glue to repair any breakages or return to the artist for plastic welding repair.This is made from PLA plastic which has a melting point of around 160 degrees celsius. If it is in a hot environment like a conservatory, it may start to droop over time.
The plastic is UV resistant so shouldn't yellow in the sun.
If your bird is placed outside please be aware of animals that may interact with it and in areas of high wind be aware that surrounding branches may hit it and cause breakages.
