Thank you for your feedback on our Hot Cast Bronze Eagle sculpture. We apologize that the bird does not sit straight and leans backwards. We would like to assure you that this is not a common issue and we would be happy to exchange or refund your order if you are not pleased. However, we kindly request that in the future you contact us for resolution before leaving a bad review. Our customer service team is always available to assist with any issues that may arise, but in this case we see that you had not reached out to us for support prior to leaving your review. Thank you for your understanding.
