Barn Owl
A ghostly beauty that watches over your garden.
The Barn Owl is one of Britain’s most mesmerising birds — silent in flight, fierce in the hunt, and steeped in folklore. With its distinctive heart-shaped face and eerie screech, it’s long been a symbol of wisdom and mystery.
Ours is captured mid-watch, standing proud in weathering Corten® steel. From its extra-long talons to that listening face, this silhouette brings grace and presence to any outdoor space. Designed to last, it weathers over time into a rich, rusted patina that blends beautifully with the British landscape.

AS SEEN IN
Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.
When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.
That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.
This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.
The Patina Process:
At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.
The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.
