Tool-making, fish-catching, diving genius.

Our Puffin is more than just adorable — it’s extraordinary. Widely known as the cutest bird on Earth, it’s also a master diver, a devoted parent, and one of the few birds known to use tools. With its iconic bright beak and waddling walk, the Puffin is a much-loved coastal character.

  2. Position the base – Downward angle works best for realism.
  3. Tap into soil – Use a mallet or hammer if needed.
  4. Mount on wood – Use pre-drilled holes for permanent display.
  5. Ensure secure placement – Avoid windy edges for best stability.

Top Tip: Puffins look best near rockeries or coastal-themed planters.

Is this an actual coastal puffin species?
Yes – it's inspired by the Atlantic Puffin, a native seabird to UK shores.

Does the steel change colour?
Yes – the Corten steel develops a natural rusted patina that protects the sculpture.

Can it be mounted instead of staked?
Absolutely. There are two screw holes in the base for secure mounting.

Is this a good gift for bird lovers?
Definitely. Puffins are beloved and this sculpture brings their charm to any space.

How big is the box it comes in?
A standard A4-sized box – easy to send and gift.

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.
