Yardbirds® sculptures were first created over a decade ago by Richard Kolb and son. Bandana Yardbirds creations are handmade in Kentucky. That means each junkyard animal varies slightly from the other in its handcrafted appearance and attitude. Each creation is made from recycled materials; scrap and rejected garden tools, farm machinery, bicycle and auto parts. Buying a Yardbird reduces solid waste destined for a landfill.
