The falconer's favourite, now landing in your garden.

While not native to Britain, the Harris Hawk has become the raptor of choice in UK falconry for good reason. Known for its intelligence, teamwork, and commanding presence, this bird of prey works in family groups, led by a dominant female nearly twice the size of the males. And yes, one named Rufus even has a security pass at Wimbledon.

With piercing focus and impressive stature, our Harris Hawk silhouette brings an unmistakable edge to any garden. A tribute to power, partnership, and a little bit of drama.

Let this raptor take pride of place.

  1. Pick a solid perch — a fence post, gate, or tree branch is ideal.
  2. Angle the stake slightly downward to mimic a hunting posture.
  3. Tap the base in firmly using a mallet or hammer.
  4. Ensure the silhouette is balanced and facing a clear line of sight.
  5. Admire the presence this bold bird brings to your space.

Top Tip: Installing at eye level makes this raptor even more striking.

A rich, rusted finish that protects the steel and suits natural surroundings.

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.
