1. Introduction
The Design Toscano Just Chillin' Tiki Parrot Statue is a decorative item designed to add a relaxed, tropical ambiance to your home or garden. This statue features a parrot figure in a Bahama-style shirt and Bermuda shorts, holding a tropical drink. It is crafted from quality designer resin and individually hand-painted.
2. Safety Information
- Placement Stability: Ensure the statue is placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping, especially in outdoor environments where wind may be a factor.
- Child and Pet Safety: Keep the statue out of reach of small children and pets to prevent accidental damage or injury.
- Material Handling: While durable, the resin material can break if dropped. Handle with care.
3. Setup and Placement
Your Tiki Parrot Statue is designed for immediate display. No assembly is required.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the statue from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
- Indoor Placement: For indoor use, place the statue on a stable shelf, table, or buffet. Consider areas that complement its tropical theme.
- Outdoor Placement: For outdoor use, the statue is intended for display poolside, in a garden, on a patio, porch, or lanai. Choose a location that is relatively sheltered from extreme weather conditions to prolong its lifespan.

4. Operating (Display Considerations)
The primary function of this statue is decorative. To maximize its visual appeal and ensure longevity, consider the following:
- Lighting: Position the statue where it can receive adequate lighting to highlight its hand-painted details.
- Theme Integration: Integrate the statue into existing tropical or garden themes for a cohesive look.
- Rotation: Periodically rotate the statue if exposed to direct sunlight to ensure even exposure and minimize potential fading over extended periods.

5. Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance of your statue for years to come.
- Cleaning: Wipe the statue with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the painted finish.
- Outdoor Care: If placed outdoors, bring the statue indoors during periods of extreme cold, heavy snow, or prolonged freezing temperatures to prevent cracking or damage to the resin.
- Sun Exposure: While designed for outdoor use, prolonged direct sunlight may cause colors to fade over time. Consider placing it in a partially shaded area if fading is a concern.
6. Troubleshooting
- Fading Colors: If colors appear to fade, consider relocating the statue to a more shaded area or applying a UV-resistant clear coat (ensure compatibility with painted resin before application).
- Minor Chips/Scratches: Small chips or scratches can often be touched up with appropriate outdoor-grade acrylic paints.
- Instability: If the statue wobbles, ensure the surface it rests on is level. For outdoor placement, you may secure the base with adhesive or by embedding it slightly into the ground for added stability.
