Great Spotted Woodpecker
The garden’s noisiest neighbour — in the best way.
The Great Spotted Woodpecker brings noise, rhythm, and serious charm to your backyard. Famous for its tree-drumming behaviour (up to 16 strikes per second!), this bird is all about bold moves and headbanging vibes. It also has a smart climbing trick — two toes forward, two back — that makes it the rock climber of the bird world.
Ours captures that moment of vertical pause, hammer poised, ready for action. A standout gift for bird lovers, drummers, or anyone who loves a bit of garden theatre.

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.
