I had previously bought a raven for a friend as a birthday gift but found I had raven envy. This time I treated myself and am very pleased with the result. I've found the perfect spot for him to rule over our garden.

Raven
Description
Wise. Witty. Wicked.
The Raven is a bird that defies expectations. With a brain as sharp as its beak, this misunderstood creature is more prankster than predator. Sliding down rooftops for fun, making its own toys, and even dropping rocks on intruders? Now that's personality.
Revered by royalty and folklore alike (Her Majesty the Queen had eight!), this large silhouette brings a bit of gothic majesty and mystery to your garden. A bold piece for bird lovers, story lovers, and those with a slightly mischievous streak.
✓ Symbolic & striking – A clever, powerful presence for any garden
✓ 45cm high x 18cm wide – Weighs approx. 450g
✓ Large-format packaging – Box size 39cm x 34cm x 1cm
✓ UK-made – Produced in a local family-run workshop
✓ Crafted from 3mm Corten steel – Forms a protective patina over time
✓ Easy to install – Tap into timber, tree stumps, or soft soil

Raven
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?

Unique and stunning! The Raven was a birthday gift for my brother. He absolutely loved it and put it up on the tree next to his tree house the same day! I was given a small bird (kingfisher) for Christmas, which looks great on my apple tree. A unique and unusual gift any lover of nature and birds would like.

Amazing Excellent quality, looks brilliant in the garden
Brought smiles to everyone Loved by everyone who received one as a gift
Very impressed. Bought the Blue Tit as a present for my sister. Liked it so much I bought the Raven for myself. Even though it's two dimensional it's very life like and has a dynamic quality. I put it up and still do a double take when I look out of the window.
Fabulous Outstanding. I love it.
Raven Exellent !!!

Absolutely not Nevermore! Raven is the best Metalbird we have bought. He has a great expression, and really justifies the weight of the Corten steel. Marvellous. Thanks
Raven It is my favourite metal bird so far (I have several) . Truly stunning, lifelike and substantial. I love it. Can we have a witch on a broomstick for Halloween ?
Superb likeness Love the raven it is quite atmospheric and a welcome addition to the garden.
Stunning Bought this for friends as a gift, after they saw our Kookabura's . Absolute love it. As usual top quality and a perfect different gift.
Fantastic This is one formidable bird!! Big, bold and beautiful. The photo is my raven fixed to our fence. She protects the birds from local cats who seem unwilling to climb over the fence since she arrived! Excellent quality, easy to install. Arrived quickly and well wrapped. I need to buy more!
Fabulous! Totally love our Raven…..in pride of place, guarding our shed!!
Beautiful My raven arrived quickly and in excellent condition, larger than I expected. I am pleased to add him to my metaĺbird collection.
Perfect birds Bought some for presents a while ago and have now bought more for us. All lovely, just difficult to decide where to place them so we can see them easily!
Bought with bats see bat review!
Perfect present Bought my first metalbird as a birthday gift. It was very well received. It most definitely won't be my last purchase from metalbird.
Delightful The service is great. The information heartwarming. The birds are lovable and beautiful.

Raven metal bird Looks fantastic in the garden, really pleased would highly recommend for every garden
love the ravens The ravens have arrived are now in situ and look fabulous, I love them :sparkling_heart:
Gifts I bought a few things as gifts , a couple haven't been presented yet , one I've had no feedback on because we are divorced and we chose not to comment on what we buy each other, and the remaining item has been fully appreciated and the person in question was already interested in Metalbird products . I have checked them all over and they are of an excellent standard , so you can assume I am happy with my purchases .
Wonderful Raven! I already had the Robin (brought two @ Xmas, one for my sister) and absolutely loved it. The Raven is a different item though, it’s absolutely massive compared to the Robin & the tang will need more than a tap to get it into into a tree as it’s huge! So I mounted it on the gate post with a bit of 2x4. The corten steel is now starting to weather nicely & it stilll makes me look every time as looks like it’s the cat sitting there! Bit expensive but excellent quality!
Perfect By Raven is wonderful, he is indoors at the moment until I find an outdoor spot..... but then he just may stay indoors!
Huge....... Really pleased with our latest edition but have yet to decide exactly where to place it. Very impressed with the quality and the swift delivery. Thank you.
