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.

I purchased this Osprey as a Xmas present for my daughter and son-in-law who live in NZ. This bird now happily resides in the Waikato region on the North Island of New Zealand, which is ironic considering the origins of the company.
I worked on a project for 20 years in the Midlands to re introduce ospreys back into England and thank to you I now have an Osprey in my garden
When hammering in it bent so had to restraighten and try again, maybe best to predrill the wood first
