Road Runner - Metalbird USA
MEET THE BIRD

Your rail. Its running track.

Long tail lifted, crest up, one foot reaching forward. Our Road Runner holds that familiar stride in steel. Give it a horizontal wooden rail or post top with plenty of room for the tail. A little company for the person who would rather be outside.

The "Road Runner" is a premium metal wall art piece shaped like a bird, featuring a layered cutout design with textured details and shadows. Mounted on a light wall, it makes a unique gift for any space.
MATERIAL & CARE

Steel that changes with the seasons

Corten is weathering steel. Its gray surface changes through orange and brown tones outdoors as a natural rust patina develops. Each setting leaves its own mark, so color and timing vary. Allow water to drain and keep rusty runoff away from pale stone, walls and other surfaces that could stain.

The "Road Runner" features a minimal black ink illustration of a crested roadrunner with a slim body, long tail, and thin legs, creating a bold silhouette against a simple light background.
INSTALLATION

Give it a horizontal wooden perch.

Choose a sound, solid horizontal wooden rail or post top. Position the bird upright with room around the silhouette, then tap the integrated mounting spike downward into the wood with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection. Keep the pointed spike away from children; hammer or mallet not included.

The Road Runner is a premium corten steel roadrunner silhouette attached to an open brown folder that holds a white card with text and a small black-and-white photo.

Frequently asked questions

What is it made from?

American Corten weathering steel, cut and made in the USA.

Will it be painted in bird colors?

No. The design is an unpainted steel silhouette. Its gray surface develops a natural orange-brown rust patina outdoors; it does not have the living bird’s colors.

How big is it?

13 in high × 14 in wide; approximately 16 oz.

Where and how do I mount it?

Choose a sound, solid horizontal wooden rail or post top. Position the bird upright with room around the silhouette, then tap the integrated mounting spike downward into the wood with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection. Keep the pointed spike away from children; hammer or mallet not included.

Will it rust or stain?

Yes. Natural rust patina is part of Corten steel. Runoff can stain nearby surfaces, especially while weathering. Choose a location away from pale stone, walls and other surfaces that could stain.
