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.
✓ Symbol of loyalty and protection ✓ 14cm high × 19cm wide — Approx. 300g ✓ Ships flat in A4 gift box (30cm x 21cm x 1cm) ✓ Proudly UK-made — Family-run factory ✓ Crafted from 3mm Corten® steel — Weathering beautifully over time ✓ Simple to install — Hammer gently into wooden surfaces
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.

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.

My wife loved her metalbird robins I got her for her birthday. We are deciding on a spot for them.
Garden shed
The Robin is in memory of a good friend lost to Covid and the Bat and Raven just because we love the product, but running out of places to put more
I absolutely love these birds and have bought several for Christmas presents this year. The mini ones are totally fab for teacher gifts and I look forward to my kids giving them as they are just something a bit different. They look great and I can’t decide which one to keep for myself!
We absolutely love our metal Robin family
Our metal Robin looks amazing in our garden we have placed it so we can see it from with the house and we have brought one as a gift which has been as equally admired. Thank you
My Metal Bird
My husband bought this as a surprize present and I just love it. Robins are my favourite bird, now I've got one to enjoy all year round.
Much loved gift
Bought this for my mum for Christmas as she is a keen gardener and has a regular robin that comes to visit and get a feed.
I bought one for my dad last year and it looks great in his garden and loved this option with the baby robin too. She was really pleased with it and think it will bring joy in the garden for years to come
Love it!
Bought it for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. It will compliment the Blackbird we already have.
First class quality and service.
Thank you
Quality product
Great piece of art for an outdoor space. Present for my sister who says it makes her smile every morning when she opens her curtains and looks out.
Brilliant birds
Hi There, my name is Monica and my husband Andy bought the lovely birds for me for Christmas. They are really so delightful and once the weather is kind to us again and it is not raining, the birds will be in the back garden for all to enjoy.
Adorable
I was a little nervous of buying something I came across on Instagram, however it turned up on time and it really is the most lovely item, beautifully packaged.
Great Purchase
Very pleased with my purchase. Arrived very well packaged and the birds were bigger than I expected. Nicely finished too. Love it. Thank you :relaxed:️
Remembrance of a dear Father
My granddaughter lost her Father suddenly and we remembered the poem about the robin being the bird of remembrance, so we purchased the robin and put in the garden as a constant reminder.
Saxby’s Birds
Thanks for providing such a wonderful item. My wife loves it and did not want it to go outside and go rusty. I hammered it into the swing anyway in a location to to pick up on the near by house’s apex. Corrosion has now started and it is currently a nice orange which my wife says is beautiful and she is now glad it has been positioned outside. Just wish we had more garden for further additions
Lovely!
This was bought as a present for a very dear friend who loves nature. It will be outside his caravan on a beautiful tree. A gift that keeps giving. He loves it!
Brilliant product
I was given a few of these for Xmas a few years ago and loved them so much that I have bought more and also bought as gifts for other people.
