Long-tailed Tit
Like a cotton ball with wings — and attitude.
The Long-Tailed Tit is one of the UK’s most loved garden birds — and it’s not hard to see why. With its pinkish belly, stripey eyes, and fluffed-out feathers, it flits noisily around gardens and hedgerows in fast-moving groups that chatter constantly.
This silhouette captures its curious charm and cloud-like roundness perfectly. A favourite for birders, nature lovers, and anyone in need of a lift.

AS SEEN IN
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.
what’s the word on the bird?
