Style With
Red-Tailed Hawk
A watchful perch of your choosing.
Folded wings, a hooked beak and cutout feather detail give this Red-Tailed Hawk its watchful stance. At 17 inches high, it has room to make an impression. Choose a solid wooden post and leave clear sky behind the silhouette. You supply the view.
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.
Choose a perch. Tap it in.
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
A small box with someone in mind.
Your bird arrives flat-packed in Metalbird gift packaging, with a brand booklet and postcard. No invoice or pricing is included. If the gift-message option is available and you add a message at checkout, it is printed on the postcard. A bird you chose for them, ready for them to choose its perch.

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?
17 in high × 5.2 in wide, excluding the branch; approximately 16 oz.
Where and how do I mount it?
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
