I'm larger than the rest of my flock...

Our Large Pair of Swallows is a breathtaking version of our beloved classic, capturing the grace, agility, and international flair of the iconic Barn Swallow. These aerodynamic fliers are known for their long forked tails and near-constant movement, gliding inches above ground in search of insects. This silhouette pair brings their wild, poetic spirit into your garden in grand style.

✓ Larger than life – 30cm high x 45cm wide (including branch and spike)
✓ Postal-friendly packaging – Box measures 39cm x 29cm x 1cm, weighs approx. 450g
✓ Made in Britain – Cut and finished in a family-run UK factory
✓ Premium quality – Crafted from 3mm Corten® weathering steel
✓ Installs in minutes – Tap the stake into timber with a hammer (pre-drill hardwood)
✓ Weatherproof & evolving – Develops a beautiful rusted patina over time
✓ Great gift idea – For couples, garden lovers, or birding enthusiasts

Let your swallows soar with ease.

  1. Choose a prominent garden spot like a raised bed or fence post.
  2. Hold the silhouette at a downward angle for a natural look.
  3. Gently tap the base into wood or soft soil using a mallet or hammer.
  4. If working with hardwood, pre-drill a small guide hole.
  5. Step back and admire the life they bring to your garden.

Top Tip: Position against lighter surfaces to maximise silhouette contrast.

Are they safe around children?
They’re blunt and safe when installed, but supervise young children during setup.

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.
