Tiny bird. Giant heart.

This sweet Robin & Chick duo captures the fierce, protective nature of one of Britain’s most beloved birds. While robins are known for their cheery song and bold red breast, their parenting instincts are next level — fiercely guarding their young from threats of any size.

Crafted from 3mm Corten® steel, this silhouette becomes part of your garden story — slowly ageing to a warm, rustic patina that deepens its natural charm. Whether it’s a gift to new parents or a nod to nature’s most loyal guardians, this piece speaks of love, care, and resilience.

    How to bring your robin home:

    1. Pick the perfect perch — A garden post, fence rail, or tree trunk works best.
    2. Hold at a slight angle — Tilt the stake downward to mimic a real bird's posture.
    3. Tap gently with a hammer or mallet — No need to overdo it. Pre-drill if mounting on hardwood.
    4. Check it’s snug — A gentle wiggle will confirm it's secure.
    5. Step back and smile — Your garden just got more heart.

    Top Tip: Robins love quiet corners. Install near shrubs, feeders, or water bowls to see the real ones stop by!

    Is this a good gift for parents?
    Absolutely. It’s a touching tribute to love, care, and fierce loyalty — perfect for mums, dads, or anyone with a nurturing spirit.

    Will it rust?
    Not in the flaky, falling-apart sense! Corten steel forms a rich patina that protects it from further corrosion — it actually gets better with time.

    Can I install it on a tree?
    Yes! Just make sure it's a wooden surface or bark that's firm enough to hold the stake. For living trees, be mindful not to damage the bark deeply.

    How long will it last outdoors?
    Many years. This steel is made for the elements and ages beautifully — like a fine wine, but feathery.

    Is this made in the UK?
    Proudly! Cut, crafted, and packaged by a family-owned British factory with a passion for great birds and better gardens.

    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.
