Metalbird isn’t just something you buy.
It’s something you do.
When you hammer a bird into your fencepost, your garden, your balcony rail, you’re not just installing art.
You’re becoming part of the world’s largest outdoor art project.
Millions of people, in thousands of backyards, across dozens of countries.
One hammer. One bird. One moment of quiet transformation.
Why It’s More Than Metal
At first glance, a Metalbird is simple.
A silhouette cut from steel. A few taps with a hammer. Done.
But then it starts to shift.
It catches the morning light.
It surprises you in the corner of your eye.
It becomes part of your daily landscape.
And here’s where the magic happens:
Your backyard becomes a gallery.
Not a gallery with white walls and hushed whispers.
A gallery of real life.
The Global Flock
Right now, as you read this, someone is:
-
Installing a Metalbird in a French vineyard
-
Hammering one into a Sydney backyard
-
Mounting one on a London balcony
-
Planting one by a memorial tree in Ohio
-
Watching the protective patina develop on a garden fence in Auckland
It’s not about matching sets or designer landscapes.
It’s about ordinary people marking ordinary spaces with extraordinary meaning.
Why People Do It
We’ve asked.
Here’s what they say:
“It makes the garden feel alive.”
Not everyone has a green thumb.
But everyone likes a spot that feels intentional, personal, and alive.
A Metalbird says:
“This place matters.”
“It marks a moment.”
Birthdays. Loss. New homes. Quiet wins. Big changes.
A bird isn’t just décor. It’s a marker of time passing and life shifting.
“It’s art that doesn’t ask for attention.”
Unlike a painting or a sculpture, a Metalbird just sits quietly, catching the light.
It’s there when you need it. And when you don’t, it’s still there... weathering with you.
Backyard Galleries Are Better Anyway
Let’s be honest:
Most galleries feel like places you tiptoe through.
Metalbird turns your own backyard into a gallery you can live in.
Bare feet. Coffee mugs. Birdsong. A finish that evolves with the seasons but never falls apart.
That’s art, too.
The Joy of Outdoor Art
Outdoor art isn’t about perfection. It’s about participation.
When you install a Metalbird, you’re not just placing an object... you’re creating a moment.
A moment that:
-
Connects you to place
-
Connects you to memory
-
Connects you to millions of other people doing the same thing in their own little corner of the world
Why Rust is Part of the Plan
Our birds are made from Corten steel.
That means they develop a protective patina that seals and protects the silhouette.
The patina isn’t a flaw. It’s the point.
It says:
-
“This bird belongs here.”
-
“This moment matters, and it changes with the seasons.”
Real Stories From the Backyard Gallery
Here are a few we’ve heard:
Jenny – New York
“I put a Metalbird Cardinal on my fire escape. Now every morning I make coffee and watch the real birds join the steel one. It’s become my daily ritual.”
Ben – Christchurch
“We installed a Fantail on the fence after my dad passed. It’s not just art... it’s part of how we remember him.”
Luc and Marie – Provence
“Our vineyard has two Metalbirds. One by the tasting room, one by the old fig tree. People ask about them all the time... it starts conversations about nature and art and memory.”
It’s Not About Perfection
You don’t need a manicured garden for this.
We love seeing birds in:
-
Wild backyards
-
Overgrown balconies
-
Community gardens
-
Public spaces where someone just… decided to make a moment happen
That’s the whole idea.
Join the Movement
When you install a Metalbird, you’re joining a global art project that says:
-
Art belongs in real life.
-
Memory belongs in daily spaces.
-
Beauty belongs in the ordinary.
It’s not a product. It’s a quiet act of creativity.
Why We Tell This Story
Because this isn’t about mass production.
It’s about:
-
Backyard art

Personal rituals
-
Moments of connection
-
A global flock of people who like to make small, beautiful changes to their world
