A timeless messenger of love.

The Turtle Dove has long been a symbol of peace, devotion and harmony—from Shakespearean poetry to the classic Christmas carol. Its gentle ‘turr turr’ song from the hedgerows is the very sound of a British summer.

Whether you’re celebrating the festive season or simply honouring love and togetherness in your garden, this silhouette is a heartfelt addition. Made from 3mm Corten® steel, it weathers beautifully while standing strong against the elements.

Is this a good holiday gift?
Absolutely — the dove is a classic symbol of peace, making it a thoughtful Christmas or winter gift.

Will it rust over time?
Yes, but in a good way! The Corten steel forms a stable, protective patina that gets richer over time.

Can I hang this piece instead of staking it?
It’s designed to stake into wood or soil, but with creativity you can mount it on walls or posts using pilot holes.

Is it made sustainably?
Yes — it’s locally produced in a family-run UK factory, with minimal waste.

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.
