About Richard Kolb
Richard Kolb and his father created the first Yardbird more than 20 years ago in Jamestown, Kentucky. They began talking about all the things that could be made with scrap materials, and after a little experimentation, the first Yard bird was born. People instantly loved them as much as they did, so they began creating Yard birds® full-time.
Yardbirds are now made in Louisville, KY. They try to use overrun, discontinued, rejected, and scrap materials as much as possible. Most of the pieces are made from scrap parts that were once in a transmission or another part of a vehicle.
Yardbirds are a great way to contribute to the good of the environment. They save rejected metal parts from ending up in a landfill, and they beautify homes and yards everywhere!
