Long-eared Owl
All eyes (and ears) on you.
With upright ear tufts and haunting calls that travel over a mile, the Long-Eared Owl is one of Britain’s most intriguing night birds. Known for their hunting prowess and piercing stare, these owls swallow their prey whole — and later regurgitate the leftovers in neat little fur-and-bone pellets (lovely!).
Our silhouette captures the Long-Eared Owl’s unique alert posture and wild spirit. A perfect addition for owl lovers, nature dwellers, or anyone who enjoys the strange beauty of Britain’s night flyers.

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.
