Bird Girl – (37.5″) Style #7779 37.5”h
$599.00
Bird Girl was sculpted by Sylvia Shaw Judson in 1936 and made famous by the best selling non-fiction novel and movie, Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil by John Berendt.
After the release of the book, the original statue was removed from the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA and currently resides in a museum in downtown Savannah. Bird Girl has become one of the most recognized sculptures in America.
Samantha Seaman –
After leaving GA and moving to AZ, we knew we wanted something special for our new home so we purchased the 37″ Bird Girl. We couldn’t be happier!! She arrived safe and sound – packed well and no damage. She is the perfect addition to our new yard and will always remind us of our time in Georgia!!
Beth Wilson –
We love our Bird Girl! We also purchased the pedestal which elevated her another 12” in our garden. Worth every penny!
Beth Wilson –
We love our Bird Girl. She was an anniversary present for our Nashville yard. We ordered the pedestal for her, and it elevated her in our garden another 12”. I would advise ordering them together. It’s worth it!
John C –
What an excellent purchase. We love the Bird Girl. She is very detailed, and a very nice size statue. Everything about this piece says “quality”. She arrived when specified and was well packaged for the trip. We couldn’t be more pleased!
LS –
After six years , she still looks great in my garden in Hungary. Always get a lot of compliments.
Cheryl –
The Bird Girl statue is a beautiful addition to my garden and looks just as pictured. It’s well made and arrived in a timely fashion with no damage. It is so much prettier than the imitations found at a lower price.
Kathy ODonnell –
I ordered the largest Bird Girl. The packaging was intricate and she arrived safely. I am totally pleased with her, and she now has a prominent place in my front yard garden among my lilacs and lilies. Thank you very much.
Mark –
Love Savannah, SS Judson’s sculptures, and beautiful outdoor art in general and ordered Her through the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA. Had a daughter who graduated from SCAD so was in Savannah many times over four years. Shipped to TX and original order was cracked across the base. Brian responded to my email enquiry promptly and immediately shipped a replacement. I am grateful and appreciative!
Carla Pfahler –
We are so pleased with our Bird Girl, she has added a special spirit to our flower garden and we enjoy feeding the birds from her offering dishes. I have wanted her ever since our visit to Savanah and reading the book Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil. She was well packed and shipped promptly. My only comment otherwise was that the patina was not as notable as in the webstie photos but we are still quite happy.
Terri Blanken –
For years, I’ve wanted the tallest bird girl statue. I finally was able to order it. It arrived on time, packaged well and in beautiful condition. It has an understated beauty in its simplicity. I’ve decided to place it inside our screened porch so that we have a view of hit and our woods as a backdrop. I have a tall plant behind that vines down on either side. I’m so happy to finally have this at our home 🙂
Garrett –
My wife watches MNitGoGaE once a week and was very excited to receive the statue! Very well packaged and looks great, excited to get it set up in our newly renovated garden this summer!
Daphne –
The Bird Girl statue is absolutely lovely. The more I see her every day the more I like her. The craftsmanship is perfect & the seller is very helpful. I also bought the pedestal . I asked company owner what product to use to securely attach the statue unto pedestal & his advice was excellent.
Linda –
I purchased the 37.5 inch Bird Girl and she arrived within 4 weeks. She was packed very well and was well worth the wait. She looks beautiful in my garden in the front yard. Many neighbors have stop and told me how pretty she looks in the center with azaleas and other plants around her She definitely makes the garden stand out. Will look later to get The Little Gardener.
Mark –
Well, I finally ordered the 37.5″ Bird Girl! She arrived well protected and undamaged. A beautiful addition to my lavender garden!

IMPRESSIVE!!
Beautifully crafted. The packing and shipping was impeccable. It is truly a joy to have in my garden.
Noel white –
I purchased the bird seed girl with the pedestal. I love them
Both and they are an unusual and timeless accent to my courtyard.
Edward Wellman –
I am very pleased with my 37.5″ Bird Girl. The statue’s box arrived undamaged and upon opening, discovered it was tightly packed in foam. Out of the box, all we could do was exclaim how BEAUTIFUL she is. We love the patina. She stands now in our garden, surrounded by red and yellow Black EYE Susans’.
Maria Burns –
I’m in love with my bird girl statue she’s so beautiful and so well designed she came to us nicely packed and we received her a few weeks after ordering
We just returned from a trip to Savannah and I knew I had to have her I highly recommend she’s so worth it
Larry DeLange –
The large Bird Girl arrived as advertised, packed very well. We love her! She has a prominent home in our garden under a rose arbor.
Eva Shattock –
I bought the large bird girl it was very well packaged except the box was damaged so when I took her out her head was damaged so I emailed and problem was taken care of and I was sent a replacement so great customer service as well. I will be a repeat customer.
Eva Shattock –
I bought the large bird girl it was very well packaged except the box was damaged so when I took her out her head was damaged so I emailed and problem was taken care of and I was sent a replacement so great customer service as well. She is beautiful very well made and well worth every penny. The stand makes her look even better. Very satisfied and happy with the whole process. Thank you
Deann –
Purchased the large bird girl statue. Was packaged very well, arrived quickly and is exactly what I was hoping for. Well made, weighted to withstand wind, but I can carry it. Very good replica. I am thrilled with it!
Michael Huff –
Extremely happy with my purchase. I ordered this statue as a Christmas present so I was worried it would not come by Christmas but it came at just the right time. Would recommend Potina to anyone.
Dennis Dean –
I received the statue but it was damaged. A large crack in the head, evidently because the package was severely dropped in the delivery process as evidenced by damaged box. A replacement was immediately sent and received. Very happy with the statue as well as customer service. Will need to wait and see how well it weathers in relatively mild Virginia winters.
Brian Oursler –
Bought as a gift the 37.5″ “Bird girl” statue and by all accounts it is fantastic. My friend said all her friends are going to get one too.
Terri & Denis Pilon –
We purchased the 28” Bird Girl on the pedestal and the 37.5” Bird Girl on Pedestal. They are so beautiful in our gardens. The taller of the girls was to honour my 6’ mother who passed away, and the little girl honours my husbands 4’10” mother who passed away. Our gardens are illuminated at night with the two girls spot lit. We are so pleased with the quality and beauty of both of the statues and look forward to purchasing The Little Gardener and the Boy & Dog next summer.
Deborah Pitzl –
I love her. I have wanted her since a trip to Savannah in 2009. Although I would love her to be bigger and truly sculpted, she is by no means a disappointment. She graces my patio overlooking our lake and is always met with the appreciation she deserves.
Alvin –
We are extremely pleased with the largest Bird Girl statue. My wife said tell you she loves it. She is sitting in a flowerbed of impatiens facing a golf course where she is beautiful and will be admired by many constantly.
David Mailloux –
This is an absolutely gorgeous statue and I’m so grateful for the gorgeous recreation. I went to the Telfair Museums recently and I really can’t tell the difference between the original and my purchase. Thank you!
Livia Elliott –
Bought the large Bird Girl statute for a gift. Unfortunately, she was damaged in shipping. Customer service was excellent with their response!! Awaiting a replacement. It is truly a beautiful statute.
Candy –
After 5 or so years, I finally decided to get the 37 inch bird girl. And i got it within 2 weeks and after opening the package and seeing her in real life i knew it was a great decision. The packing if it was fantastic!
Thanks for the quick delivery.
Mitch Wellsteed –
Beautiful piece and worth every penny
Thanks for the craftsmanship ,brings a smile to our garden!
Brian D. –
Wonderful! Arrived safely. Good weight. Well made. Thank you!
Tom Brown –
Beautiful statue! Arrived quickly in perfect condition. I now have two Bird Girls (different sizes). I love these statues
Jill Murphy –
Beautiful statue, purchased as a garden memorial to my recently deceased husband. Large very stunning. I am working on a concrete pedestal so she will shine above the flowers in my butterfly garden. Excellent transaction from start to finish. Easy to order, best price on internet with coupon, no shipping charge to Texas. Packing was phenomenal, statue is perfect. Takes a little longer to get, but newly made to meet your order. I could not be happier and would highly recommend ordering directly from Potina when you finalize your decision on purchasing this work of art. Thank you, Potina!
Terry –
After seeing the movie a trip to Savanna was a “must do” And of course we had to make sure we saw the original “little Wendy”.
And so the “bird girl” became a “gift to ourselves for Christmas” A more or less automatic visit to Amazon.com was somewhat disappointing as shipping was an additional cost. A subsequent visit to Potina.com not only showed that the bird girl was available but included free shipping plus anticipated delivery before Christmas. And they came thru………..delivery was within about a week of placing the order. The “bird girl statue” was everything I had expected and more. The finish is superb and the statue itself is unexpectedly heavy considering its method of construction……..a very pleasant surprise. has a nice decidedly “heft” to it. Would have no problem recommending this piece and this company to anyone interested in having a “bird girl”.
KATHLEEN ABRAMS –
For years I have been in awe of the Bird Girl and I decided to finally get a statue on a recent trip to Savannah. But, before I purchased one at a gift shop, I did some online research, found Potina, and promptly ordered the 37.5″ statue. I received it ten days after ordering and was very well packaged. Thank you for making one of my dreams come true!!
Nora Aidukas –
I have been captivated by Bird Girl ever since I first laid eyes upon her, yet I was hesitant to purchase a replica. I’m so glad I overcame my caution because everything I worried about–the quality of the piece, the proportion, the color and finish, even whether it would arrive intact and on time–were not realized. I was wondered about the weight and made a telephone call to ask about it and received a wonderful call back not only explaining how hefty and sturdy she was, but also inquiring about the fires we were experiencing at the time. That touched me. (BTW, I hope your friend is now on the mend!) Thank you for your excellent customer service. I’m very happy with my purchase.
Dianne –
I just love my Bird Girl. I have always wanted her in my garden since I laid eyes on her. I have her sitting in my raised garden with small boxwoods all around. She arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition. Many thanks for a smooth transaction.
Janet –
I have wanted a Bird Girl statue for the longest time! I am so glad I found your site. The statue is beautifully made and I smile every time I see it in my garden 🙂 The birds are still getting used to Bird Girl as a source of food, but they are now starting to visit regularly! The statue was well packaged. Happy customer 🙂
Robert –
We received the Bird Girl in only about 1 week – The packaging was great for shipping it from to Pittsburgh. the shipping process was second to none. We have visited Savannah on our Bi-Yearly vacations to Tybee Island and have been intrigued by the story behind the Bird Girl. We enjoy explaining to friends and neighbors the meaning behind the statue and have had a few borrow the book to read off of us also.
Lyn –
As others have said, it would be difficult to find superlatives that adequately describe how exceptional this experience was. Potina set my expectations about the delivery time being a few weeks out from the time of order, and explained why. The package arrived sooner than I expected and in superb condition — the packaging was the absolute best I have ever see for a delivery like this. The Bird Girl I ordered is stunningly beautiful and looks like she belongs in the spot where I put her in my courtyard. I posted a picture on Facebook and all my friends LOVE it. The entire experience was one of the most positive I’ve ever had – the company seems to truly care about quality and customer satisfaction and exquisite artistry. I would look for reasons to buy from Potina again. Their business model sets the bar.
Marie –
It’s difficult to find more superlatives to add to all the 5 star reviews. The statue is absolutely lovely, was carefully packaged and exceeded all my expectations! Thank you for a wonderful product!
Irene –
First saw this replica available for purchase from a catalogue company and tried to order it as a Christmas gift for my mother (they sent the wrong item), then as a birthday gift (turns out they won’t ship this item to Canada) — suffice to say I won’t deal with THAT company ever again. Searched the internet to see if this was available from some other source and found Potina! Had it shipped for free to a US address and a friend of mine picked it up for me so now it’s going to make it as a Mother’s Day gift. …..and I’m sure there will be more purchases from Potina in the future.
Ian C. –
We purchased the 37.5″ Bird Girl statue for my wife as a Christmas gift. After searching on Amazon and seeing that delivery would not make the holiday in time, I called Potina directly to ask if they had a company they shipped to that might have them in stock. The gentleman gave me a name but then offered to ship to us directly if we could place the order the same day. I did, and they shipped as promised!
The stature arrived in an extremely well packaged box, with foam sprayed in to the box to ensure safe travels.
She is as beautiful as we had hoped and a fantastic replica of the original we had seen during our trip to Savannah a few years ago. The details of her face and buttons is excellent and she has some weight to help her stay in place. Due to our winter weather in Vermont (and the many occasions our two young daughters like to hug her), she is remaining in side for the time being but will be a perfect addition to our new little courtyard.
I strongly recommend both this statue and Potina as a company to deal with.
Tim P. –
The Bird Girl speaks for herself. I surprised my wife with her for Christmas. The product shipped and arrived more quickly than I expected; is quite heavy and attractive. A welcome addition to the backyard. The 37.5″ is a good height.
Cheryl –
Years ago my husband took me to see her in the cemetery,ever since I’ve been in love with her.we just received the new one for my new home She is perfect and was so content that she’s now here .Thanks
Dana –
I received the Bird Girl in about 3 weeks – packaging was great for shipping it from NC to TX! Only problem is that my friend saw and immediately ‘took possession’ of it – she couldn’t get her checkbook out fast enough to pay me. She wasn’t sure she wanted to order one but once she saw it she convinced me to let her take it to her home. I lived in Savannah from 1975 – 85 so the original statue was a part of living in the city. My friend visited Savannah this past year and followed my advice to go tot he museum to see the original. So now I am going to have to place another order!
Samantha –
She is absolutely beautiful. It arrived within a few weeks (quicker than I had expected) and safely packaged. She is light enough to move easily (so I can keep her in my shed or basement during Ohio winter) but sturdy enough that the wind, squirrels, and birds have not disturbed her. I’m very pleased overall.
Ed Hayden –
A fine find, I wish Potina had a larger collection of the same quality in more subjects. I have several statutes in our garden, from ancient Greece to modern and contemporary. The bird girl is the best to date. She is a focal point and I plan to build a pond around her. I hope she lasts a long time in our mild San Diego climate. .
David Pilgrim –
She just arrived. Wow she’s gorgeous! We couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The quality is amazing.
Tom Bamburak –
Back in 2002 we ordered the 28″ Bird Girl (w/ pedestal); we were living in Northern Ohio and added her to our back garden. Unfortunately, I didn’t protect her during the winter freezes and after 10 years her arms developed cracks and the finish on her face was fading. But when we moved to Arizona, a friend in Ohio adopted her and moved her to their garden. Now in Arizona, we ordered the 37.5″ version, and she’s beautiful. She arrived in one week, perfect condition. She’s on our back patio overlooking the Coconino National forest, and I plan to bring her in on those rare occasions when it goes below freezing or snows. Such charm, such mystery in that face. Thank you, Potina. Thank you, Sylvia Shaw Judson.
Janet –
My sister loved the Bird Girl garden statue we gave her as a birthday gift. It arrived safe and sound in plenty of time. Brian was very helpful in answering questions and accommodating – an excellent experience and I’d recommend the statue and the company to others.
Kevin P. Tate –
Just like the rest of you here, we too have been wanting the Bird Girl ever since reading and watching the movie ” Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” there is something about the serene feeling you get while looking at her. Over the past several years we have been vacationing in Tybee/Savannah and have visited the most peaceful cemetery on earth, Bonaventure Cemetery and for the first time in 2016 we actually went to the Telfair Museum to see her up close. I just want to say that Brian has done a wonderful job with this recreation of her and as I sit here now writing this, I am looking at her with complete amazement of how peaceful she makes you feel.
She was a surprise gift for my wife this Christmas and when I ordered her, Brian was right on top of all my questions. I ordered her on Dec 5th and she was on my front step by Dec 14th in a large well packaged box. I can’t say more how happy I was with her and how well protected she was in the box. The only thing I did was open her up and add some Spanish Moss inside for some special effects for my wife when she opened it. ( you would understand this if you visit Savannah).
Again Brian, thank you so much for a awesome piece of Artwork. She was well worth the wait.
LS –
After years of considering the purchase of the 37.5″ Bird Girl I finally ordered one for my garden in Europe. It arrived in excellent shape. I had spoken to Brian just after the purchase to tell him that I plan on having it shipped in a container to Europe and asked if he could make sure that foam would be used in the entire carton to minimize the chances of damage. True to his word that is how the package arrived and it is on its way as we speak. Naturally I didnt open the package here. I will let Brian know when I receive it in Europe about how the package came through. In any case, I appreciate Brian’s help and cooperation in trying to make sure that there would be no damage. The Little Gardener is next on my list. All the comments about the excellent customer service and Brian are no exaggeration.
OC in CT –
We’ve been wanting Bird Girl in our garden for so long and finally we were able to have her join us. Everything having to do with the ordering and shipping (packaging top notch) was just perfect!!
She’s looks right at home 🙂 Cheers!
Coleen –
Love my Bird Girl statue. Arrived in about 7 days in perfect condition! Would highly recommend
Kari Z –
I have wanted this statue for such a long time and finally got a deck, patio and flower bed renovation finished and made the perfect home for her. She’s perfect! First off I received my order faster than I thought I would. She arrived perfectly packed and protected. Most importantly she is beautifully made. Absolutely exquisite. Very sturdy and the detail is everything I expected. She will be a wonderful addition to my garden for many years to come.
Kathy –
I’ve wanted this statue for over 20 years, and she did not disappoint. She now reigns over my little koi pond. A faithful reproduction, great quality, solid but easy to move, probably the finest packaging I have ever seen. She was worth the wait and worth the price.
Mike –
Ever since visiting Savannah and seeing the original statue I’ve wanted one for my own. The shipment was delivered exactly when it was promised and was packed very well. Potina customer service during this transaction has been second to none! You have exceeded my expectations! I’ve placed the statue in my bird sanctuary where it can be seen and admired. She is very beautiful and the craftsmanship is excellent. Thank you for the shipment and statue.
Rick –
This was a birthday gift for my wife and she loves it. We have no complaints. I would definitely order from here again.
Robin –
I have been wanting the Bird Girl Statue ever since my first visit to Savanna & heard the story of Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil. I finally broke down & purchased the large statue & LOVE it. The statue was packed very well and was received actually a couple of days earlier than the expected due date. I chose Potina to make my purchase because of the 5 star reviews and comments and I’m glad I did. Very Happy Customer here!!! Thank You!
Wayne Watson –
I’m very pleased with my Bird Girl statue. She arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition thanks to the excellent packaging. I’m just waiting for our backyard to bloom to pick out the perfect spot. Thank you very much!
Ron Saleh –
Bird girl arrived in perfect shape, ready for her audience.
Thank you for making your exceptional work available to the public…Bird Girl makes the room and give our atmosphere the warmth in hospitality we had been looking for. I can’t wait to find another excuse to purchase another.
sandra –
After reading ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and watching the Clint Eastwood made movie I knew I had to have the statue of the Bird Girl. An internet search directed me to a number of available vendors whose price for the large statue was $499. Further searching took me to Potina who undersold other sellers by $100, consequently, I hurriedly placed an order. Soon after on a very cold Winter’s day she arrived beautifully and safely packaged. Sight unseen I had fallen in love with the Bird Girl and I want everyone who reads this review to know that this statue did not disappoint me in any way. Although our ground remains frozen and snow covered I sit here surrounded by my gardening books in anticipation of creating a home for her. Thank you Potina for making my dream come true
Judy Scott –
I purchased the large Bird Girl for my sister’s birthday. She loves it. She said that she had never received anything that was packaged as well as this was. It was shipped out quickly and arrived in time for her birthday. Currently she has it inside but it will be placed in a memorial garden she is planning for her daughter.
Gabe –
Nice status. Is it worth $400? Eh, probably not. It seems grossly overpriced (to me). However, the price is justifiable only because it’s made in the USA, the shipping was free, this is a hard-to-find item, and my mother actually really loves this statue. The statue is exactly as described. The quality is good. The weight is perfect. It’s solid, but not too hefty. Light enough to move, as necessary. Impressive packaging. Believe me, I have 100% confidence in the seller’s packaging of this item. It arrived on time. The grandkids love it, as it’s just about their height. They have enjoyed dressing her up for holidays, putting little pumpkins in her hands for Halloween, a scarf around her neck when it’s cold, etc… All in all, it was a smooth transaction and this was a good purchase. I believe this is a good American company that delivers exactly what they advertise, and I happily recommend them.
Terry –
I purchased this for my husband’s 70th birthday. He has admired the statue over the years and upon a recent visit to Savannah he was hooked. He loves it and it arrived very quickly and was packed very well.
Ray Moreau –
I purchased a large, Savannah Bird Girl statue fo my wife’s birthday. She loves it! We retired to Savannah and have seen the original in the museum a number of times. Potina and Brian have done a wonderful job. We feel like we have the original in our garden. It is so skillfully made. Not only that, doing business with Brian and Potina was such a great experience. Both he and Potina are topnotch. Brian expedited the order for my wife’s birthdate and followed up after delivery. Best service I’ve gotten. I strongly recommend Potina for your needs.
Paula –
Loved this statue for so long!! I’m so happy that your company has reproduced it at a reasonable price. To bad shipping to Canada is so expensive, because I would love to get another one. Packaging is excellent, except for the “popcorn”. Took a long wait to empty it though, but in the end was completely worth it!!!!!
Marc Lalonde –
Brian thank you for perpetuating Sylvia Shaw Judson’s wonderful art and making it accessible to us! We acquired both the Bird Girl and the Little Gardener for our garden after making the trip to Savannah to see one of the original Bird Girls. What an amazing experience! We knew right then we needed her in our garden. The statues are gorgeous and your packaging and UPS shipping made sure our little treasures got to us safe and sound.
Jeanette Long –
I ordered the bird girl for my granddaughter’s birthday. She is building a new house and I thought it would be the perfect addition to her garden. It arrived in perfect condition due to being packed very well. She was thrilled with it. Fabulous she said. I was going to get her a copy at the local garden shop, but my daughter recommended ordering one of your reproductions. She has seen the original statue in Savannah and said the local copy does not compare. So happy I took her advice!! I liked it so much that I’m thinking about ordering one for myself!!
Dorothy Ann McLaughlin –
Beautiful beauty! Well worth the wait. Bird Girl arrived when they stated it would. I held my breath as I opened the carton which was dented in several places, but the statue was so well packed it did no harm. In fact the packaging was done very well. Although encapsulated in foam, plastic sheeting around the piece made for an easy, intact unpack. Gosh, it’s a wonderful addition to our new landscape. Have had many compliments, oo’s and ahh’s. The finish is lovely; she’s an amazing reminder of our trip to Savannah last year. Love that it’s USA made and Potina did exactly what they said they would. Cudos to Brian and team for a brilliant reproduction. Hope they expand their line.
Cathy O’Connell –
I received my Bird Girl statue and i LOVE it! Like another reviewer, I loved it so much I didn’t want to put it outside. It stayed on my enclosed front porch for several weeks but I finally put it out front and it is just gorgeous. My only fear is that someone will steal her because she is so beautiful (and if I can lift her, others definitely can!). But that is probably unfounded. I like her so much, I ordered the Little Gardener for the side of my house (or maybe back garden). The service from Brian was terrific. I’d highly recommend getting the statue if you are considering it; you won’t be disappointed.
David Robinson –
The workmanship is excellent! The package arrived in the agreed timeframe. It was packaged very well with custom shaped foam holding her tightly. This was an excellent transaction overall.
Steve C –
My wife has been wanting this for too many years and I finally made it happen. We moved around a lot in the last 15 years but recently bought our dream farm in Michigan and plan on staying so it just made sense. The quality is top notch and the packaging was impressive. Our bird girl arrived in just under 2 weeks. Thanks for everything.
Daniel L. Wallace –
Hello, I was very pleased with the transaction. The delivery time was very prompt, and the statue arrived in perfect condition. i have been working on the space for the “bird girl” for 2 years. Building the wall, terracing, and filling in the area. I found the bird bath in North Carolina while on vacation, and after visiting Savannah a couple of years ago just knew that the “bird girl” would be the perfect compliment to the ‘garden”. I had tried to buy the statue from another vendor, but ran into so many hoops to jump through that I gave up on them, then found you. I
have to wait a bit to see how this all fits together , and if it doesn’t become too crowded I plan to purchase the “flower girl” as well. Your service was excellent and I would recommend your company to any and all.
Thanks very much, you made my day.
Michelle Kirby –
I’m so happy with my new bird girl statue. I’ve been wanting one for many years. Now a new house and new flower garden provided a perfect spot. The ordering was super easy, delivery was timely and she arrived safely. Beautiful artwork that makes me happy! I’m recommending you to all my friends.
Jeffrey Richards –
I want the good folks at ‘Potina’ to know how much I appreciate both this beautiful statue…and the service they provided to me as a customer. My neighbor told me about Potina, after I mentioned my search to acquire my own ‘Bird Girl’ statue. After submitting my order to Potina, I received it promptly within the time frame stated. And I was very impressed with the care taken by the vendor, to ensure the product was shipped safely to Canada, and that it would arrive in excellent condition. Which it certainly did, and I am delighted! It is a beautiful addition to my garden, and just in time for summer! My sincere thanks for providing me with a quality product, the care taken to ship it safely, and the timeliness of delivery! I would not hesitate to do business with your company again.
Mary-Ann Maloof –
I’ve wanted this statue for about a year. She’s finally here and she didn’t disappoint. She arrived safe and sound because of excellent packaging. Here’s the problem: it took me three days before I felt I could remove her from our entry way inside the house. Yes, yes, I know, she’s supposed to be outside feeding birds. Well, that’s the other thing. Do I want birds to land on her? She does look beautiful in our front landscaping. However, I’m thinking she could be in the house safe and sound holding two African violets.
Mark johnson –
We have just received our 37 ” bird girl statue and are extremely pleased. Excellent service and the statue is beautifully done
Brian Thompson –
I just purchased the largest Bird Girl for my wife. As others have said, it looks great and was expertly packed. Super!! Thanks very much.
Joan –
Our Savannah Bird Girl arrived quickly and safely with superior packaging! The workmanship is excellent. We are very pleased with our purchase. I highly recommend your products and personal service. Many thanks.
James –
My son and I purchased the 37.5″ Bird Girl as a combined Christmas and birthday present for my wife who has been dropping hints for months. It arrived today in perfect condition. This beatiful statue will be placed in a garden that my wife has tended for thirty years. I might add that our gift for her arrived on time and was the most perfectly packaged item I have ever received. We are all completely satisfied! Thank you.
Nancy –
If I could give you 20 stars I would. My husband gave me the 28 in. Birdgirl for my birthday last year and Iove it so much I’m afraid to put it outside! I had a delightful conversation with Brian who assured me it could be left outside but for now it is just too precious to me. Now I am saving my pennies for the Little Gardener. Will it ever be issued in a smaller size? Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Sandy Bril –
Hi Brian, We first saw the Bird Girl 8 years ago when we visited Savannah. Since then we have wanted her but since we live half a world away in Perth Australia, we couldn’t decide on what size to buy and how to get it to us. With so many cheap imitations on the market, I am so glad we waited long enough to discover Potina as you had the authorized replica plus a range of sizes. We decided to order the 37.5 inch version.
As you know we took advantage of your free delivery to LA. Unfortunately we gave you the wrong address of our friend. Fortunately you sorted it out at cost to yourself for which you refused recompense. Many thanks for that. My friend found an international delivery service that charged less than half of FedEx. So this week we received the Bird Girl in one piece (great packaging!) and isn’t she a beauty! The quality of the workmanship is much more than we expected. We want to place it in our front garden facing the street but now we’re concerned that it will be stolen because it looks so beautiful! We’re thinking of bonding it to a heavy limestone or concrete plinth. My wife is very happy (and by extension I’m happy, haha). We commend you for selling us such a well crafted product that is a faithful replica of the original and also of the excellent service you rendered to enable us to receive it. Maybe instead of stealing our Bird Girl we’re asked where to get it. Of course the answer will be Potina.com!

The first time I saw the Bird Girl was on the movie and later when I went to Savanah, my two best friends gave me the Bird Girl as a present. Looks beautiful in my small garden. This garden is very special to me because I build it in memory of my brother Leopoldo Sotillo, he died in 2011.

If anyone is considering the 37.5′ Bird Girl, 3 words come to mind: “Go For It! My wife and I received our Bird Girl on Tuesday, 12 August, and we couldn’t be any more pleased with her. She is very beautifully made, a true work of art. She will be a beautiful addition to any garden, or special spot in your yard. She was even more lovely than what we had anticipated. She arrived undamaged, very secure and well packaged, and on the date promised. Brian was also very courteous and eager to answer or get back with us on any questions we might have had concerning the shipment. I give the Bird Girl and Brian’s company out of 10……..a 10. Very Well Done. It’s nice to know that companies still exist today that pay close attention to quality and stand behind their word. Our purchase of the Bird Girl was very much worth the money. Thank You Brian and the Potina Company.

I wanted a special wedding gift and my girl friend loves the Bird Girl. When I picked up a Potina flyer on a garden tour in Charlotte NC, I knew I had to have it. I got the smallest one that fit my budget and my friends have it displayed in a kitchen window that looks out to their yard. Excellent craftmanship. She is beautiful!

We are very pleased with our Bird Girl. She arrived on time and in mint condition. I spent two tours of duty in Savannah and it will always be special to us. We are reminded of our good times there each time we look at her.

I am very pleased with the Bird Girl. I learned about her when I visited Savannah, and thought she would make an unusualy nice garden ornament I have more or less dedicated her to my mother who always fed the birds; as do I. The bird girl is a focal point in my yard. One which I can see from my dinning room.
She has survived several thunderstorms with gusts up to 40mph. I would like to leave her out in the winter. Is this OK? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. S.W. in PA

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story.
I live in Charlotte, NC and I leave all of my statues out all winter. You’re in PA, right? If you experience many weeks of sub-freezing weather in a row, you might want to bring it inside. They’re definitely made to be left outside, but many of my customers in extreme cold climates bring them inside for for extra protection.
Again, thanks for your kind words and story, especially the part about your mother.

My bird girl did take the full 3 weeks to arrive but she was worth the wait. She is so beautiful. I bought her for a friends birthday and I didn’t want to give her away, I wanted to keep her. She came in a very well packaged box. I did email potina about her expected arrival date and their response was immediate. Great customer service. I actually saw a bird girl replica for somewhat cheaper online but I wanted to be sure of the quality so i ordered from potina. So glad I did. Absolutely pleased 100%. Thank you so much

Hi Coleman. Yes, there will always be variances in the finish coloration. Even though we only have a couple of guys that do all of the finishes for our statues, no two will ever be exactly alike since the statues are all totally hand painted. I’m just glad that you’re happy with your Bird Girl, even if she looks slightly different from the pictures on our website. Thanks for your order.

I was recently in Savannah and saw the “real” bird girl statute and loved it. When I got home I said I had to have one. I found this website and ordered the smaller version. I received it in about a week and it was well packaged and arrived in beautiful shape. It is now in a special place in my home. Thanks so much for your great product and your wonderful quick service!

I purchased the largest Bird Girl and am so happy with my purchase. It was packaged well and received quickly. We have it in our back yard berm with lighting pointing up at her. I also have the table top one on our deck table. If they ever make her larger I’m buying it.

Extremely pleased with the largest Bird Girl statue. She’s awesome! The packaging was extremely well done, and I received it only a week after ordering. Would definitely be a repeat customer.

I got the largest Bird Girl. It arrived so very well packed. She’s in among ferns and hostas in a front yard garden and “makes it”. Thanks.
